MISSION JAMAICA 2024
2024-03-23 00:00 - 2024-03-30 23:59 | Mission Jamaica Trip
A Mission Jamaica trip combines a service project with time for reflection and spiritual rest. It allows a person to experience an international mission field that is close to home, yet far enough away to immerse into another culture for a week. Mission Jamaica provides a way for us to love and serve our neighbor as Jesus taught us through his love and service to others. Jesus said, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Mark 12:30-31

CANCER CONNECT - WINTER/SPRING 2024
2024-03-21 18:45 - 19:45 | Minnesota
If you are a cancer survivor, caregiver, or have a loved-one with cancer, we welcome you to join us for fellowship. This group will be facilitated by Micki Smith, a member of our congregation who has travelled a cancer journey of her own. In 2016 Micki was diagnosed with Stage 3B Appendiceal Cancer and subsequently went through surgery and extensive chemotherapy. She is very grateful to be alive today. During her journey, Micki was able to connect with someone else with cancer. Together they walked with Christ, and were able to provide each other much needed comfort and support. In Micki’s own words “God nudged me to help connect with others confronted with cancer–both survivors and caregivers. My desire is to offer fellowship which will be centered around God’s love and support for us.”
