Summer Bible Study Starts Today
This summer, we will be studying the Book of Acts, along with our mission, vision, and values, in order to learn how we can better Be the Church in a more authentic way. We will also be studying Acts between services, using the multi-media course, "The Book of Acts: The Ever-Expanding Church,” designed by Professor Steve Thomason from Luther Seminary. Sign up at the Welcome Center or by calling the church office so we know how many sets of materials to prepare.

Parents/Grandparents
of Young Kids!
The nursery will now be staffed from 8:15-11:45 each Sunday during the summer, except when otherwise noted. Kids 5 years and under are welcome to spend a little, some, or all of the service and fellowship time there. Parents are asked to sign their children in and out when they use the nursery.
Our summer nursery attendant is Elena Luedtke (pastor Stephanie's daughter.) She is 14, has completed Babysitter Training, is very patient, and loves kids! She looks forward to meeting your little ones!

Staying Connected This Summer
Staying connected as a congregation is harder in the summer. People leave town, go out on the lake, host visitors, and we see less of each other, in general. Click here to read this month's blog.

We had a wonderful Sunday with our partners at St. Paul's/San Pablo on June 23rd. Pastor Stephanie preached and assisted with communion, and a lovely group from St. Barnabas worshipped with us. Then, we got to celebrate at the Midsummer Block Party. There was free food and ice cream, two different indigenous dance groups, and a dunk tank! Check out our Facebook Post to see pictures! | | |
