(Please Check Calendar for Sunday Worship Schedule) Moving forward in Faith Traditional Worship Service - 8:30 Contemporary Worship Service - 10:45 “Building on Blessings” At a previous annual congregational meeting the congregation requested our Council originate a plan to reduce the principal of our mortgage. This request resulted in the formation of the Capital Appeal Committee. Under the direction of Rev. Mark Halaas of the ELCA the campaign began on April 13, 2008. Rev. Halaas led our worship service and delivered an inspirational message about the Blessings of Giving. More details to come. The Capital Appeal Committee and Congregation Council would like to thank you in advance for all your prayers for this vital mission. This Capital Appeal Committee consists of the following persons: Peter Overgaard, Gary Kerkow, Pastor Mike Peterson, Rich Helgerson, Ray Mehl, Gladys Peterson, Jim Green, Darv Bethke, Chet Garness, Arild Hagberg, Betty Hagberg, and Pat Stoltz.
