“Faith and Love” by Pastor David Christensen
“For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and […]
“Come to Me” by Pastor Josh Doughty
Well, Church, it’s October in Minnesota. Fall is here. My favorite season. The leaves are changing, the mornings are getting colder, and Pastor Dave has already alluded to, “I think we’re gonna have an early winter.” (This is in reference to his comment two weeks ago in church when he thought it had already snowed). […]
“A Joyful Noise” by Carley Holmberg
“Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! Know that the Lord, he is God. It is he who made us and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his […]
“For His Good” by Katlyn Benson
Romans 8:28: “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” My husband Jacob and I were recently blessed with the news that we are expecting our third child due in February! Praise the Lord! This news has come after […]
“To All Generations” by Pastor Greg Pavek
“Your faithfulness endures to all generations; you have established the earth, and it stands fast.” – Psalm 119:90 Rally Sunday was a big blessing to me as always. It is so fun to see the church together. The food was great, the bouncy houses did their job, the conversations were excellent and the teamwork to […]
“Order from Chaos” by Pastor David Christensen
“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. And God saw that the […]
“A New Beginning” by Josh Doughty
Two things have been on my mind for the past few weeks…graduation and preparing for an open house. As Kristen and I have been preparing our home for Brennon’s graduation open house (which, by the way, is May 30 from 3-5 at our house and you’re all invited!), we’ve spent many evenings doing yardwork, cleaning […]
“Prone to Wander” by Jacob Johnson
I’ve been singing Christmas songs for the last 6 months and not necessarily by choice. Christmas songs are great in the month of December, but singing them in May is a little different. Every night at bedtime my three-year-old daughter Mya insists on singing Go Tell It on the Mountain. Ever since the kids Christmas […]
“Draw Near” by Luke Wollan
This past Wednesday, we welcomed the 8th graders to youth group for the first time. We had a fun night as we participated in the “Ignite Olympics,” where five teams competed against one another in several different events. I intentionally planned this event for the night that the 8th graders joined as a way to […]
“An Invitation to Rest” by Tristen Groff
This past week, Luke Wollan & I were able to attend a “First Call” conference put on by the Augustana District of LCMC. The theme of the conference was “Sabbath, Rest, and Boundaries” – which was timely for this season of my life. The first night we learned specifically about Sabbath and how to look […]
