NE MN Synod Lay Leader Network Season 2020-2021 Begins Soon
The NE MN Synod Lay Leader Network Yearly Intensive Series is a four-session educational program for adult learners, lay leaders, and potential lay leaders of all ages. It seeks to balance head and heart in a life-long learning program and to build up the Body of Christ in both congregational settings and the community beyond and around us, ESPECIALLY HERE, ESPECIALLY NOW, EVEN through COVID and other challenges surround us. The series invites learners to experience heart transformation through dynamic engagement with God’s Word and Missional expression through contextual engagement.
This year’s four-session series’ main presenters will be the Rev. Dr. Mark Skinner and the Rev. Dr. David Mesner with possible additional guest presenters in selected topic areas TBD in response to the deep needs around us, eg. dismantling racism, addressing creation care, caring for those most vulnerable, understanding and grappling with increasing secularization in North America, etc. For more information, visit https://nemnlln_20-21.eventbrite.com

Sound/Video Booth Volunteers Urgently Needed
We urgently need additional volunteers to work in the Sound Booth. Please contact Pastor Steve at 454-8060 if interested.
Head Ushers Needed
In order for us to begin worshipping in the sanctuary again, one critical need will be four persons who are each willing to take on one Sunday a month (and a fifth Sunday once per quarter) who will oversee a team of dedicated volunteers. Because of additional procedures related to COVID, every Sunday we meet in the sanctuary we will need a trained group of worship volunteers. We will build four teams around the four head Ushers who also agree to serve once a month.
