Dear Members, Visitors, and Friends of the Congregation,

          When I was a child growing up in Minnesota, school started the day after Labor Day and ended the day before Memorial Day. So when I hear the news announce that school will start the end of July or the first part of August, I’m always a bit surprised and always feel sorry for the students who must endure the miserable heat.

          At any rate, it was back-to-school news that led to the prayer I will pray during our ZOOM Worship Time tonight, Wednesday, August 9, at 7:00 PM. Perhaps you feel, as I do, that we could use a little more schooling at any age and so the prayer might be fitting no matter what our age.

          May God continue to lead us and guide us along the way, teaching us to follow his way,

Pastor Halenza
