A "Journey" discipleship and leadership group is in the process of being formed to start this fall. "The Journey” involves meeting weekly (with exceptions) with a group of other adults who engage in a relational learning process of Christian discipleship and leadership. The group is guided by three primary questions: “Who is God?” “Who am I?”“What does God desire to do through me?” Overall the process lasts 18 weeks and we make several meals together! An informational meeting is scheduled for Sunday, July 14 at 7:00 PM in the Youth Room. The meeting will last one hour and you are under no obligation to apply by attending.

5th Sunday Service will be at Peace Lutheran Church tonight at 7:00 pm.The Hwy 9 singers will perform some numbers (you may have heard them at the fair).And, they will lead us in singing some familiar hymns.Ice cream and snacks will be served during time for fellowship after the service.
