CHURCH DISCUSSION GROUPS: Some parishioners have expressed an interest in having a study group(s) in the parish. Would you be interested in taking part in a study group? Do you have a certain topic you would like to address? Perhaps the Synod Process & Results? A certain Book of the Bible? If interested in being involved, call the parish office at 651-224-9793 and leave your name and contact information.
SUPPORT GROUPS: Dealing with the sickness and death of family members and friends can be daunting. We have received requests to begin a support group to help loved ones deal with their own emotions while taking care of or dealing with the sickness or death in their lives. If you would like to see the opportunity of grief support in our parish, please call the parish office at 651-224-9793.
STRAWBERRIES: In just 2 ½ weeks, we will begin cleaning strawberries! Keep Wednesday, August 23 – Sunday, September 3 open! Our parish has again been asked to clean strawberries for the Strawberry & Cream booth at the Minnesota State Fair! We begin cleaning each day at about 8:00 AM and are usually finished about noon. Much depends on the weather and crowd size at the fair. Many of our volunteers look forward to this project. They enjoy being together and socializing with fellow parishioners. If you have never taken part in this opportunity, reserve at least one day on your calendar and see if you too might find the experience enjoyable!!
FUNERAL LUNCHEONS: Serving funeral luncheons is an important ministry in our parish. We have a dedicated group of volunteers who help serve the luncheon after a parish funeral. We want to recognize and thank these volunteers who graciously give their time to help a grieving family. Thank You to: Mary Bejblik, Suzanne Clarke, Dave Haley, Diane Hanzal, Anita Hottinger, Joan Johnson, Chris Mattson, Jackie Minus, Becky Montgomery, Kathy Moore, Jackie Morales, Janet Odalen, Denise and Dan Quinlan, Sheila Ramirez, Ann Reidell, Kathy Schowalter, Mary Helen Sperl, Sue Sperl, Florida and Joe Stevens, Kathleen Thompson and Christine Wilfahrt.
