Healing, Help, Hope
As much as we try to cope with life circumstances, sometimes we need a little extra help. Our pastor(s) are experienced in sharing God’s healing Word in every situation. They are willing to offer assistance and/or recommend professional counseling if needed. Our church has short-term counseling services available at no cost to our members when referred by one of our pastors. The services are provided by Christian Family Solutions Counseling Care & Services. Contact the church office (608-372-2347) if you wish to schedule a time to meet with pastor about your needs.

Advent Worship Series
A parent says, “I want to give my kids a real Christmas.” What do you think that parent means? Perhaps they are thinking of trimming a freshly cut tree or finding the perfect presents or spending the holidays with extended family. Perhaps they are thinking about all those things. “Then it will be a real Christmas!” Certainly, all those are wonderful things. However, none of them are what makes Christmas real. The sad truth is Christmas is the most beloved holiday of so many, yet so few know what Christmas is really about. If you want a real Christmas, then you need to observe Advent. Advent is Latin for “coming.” In the season of Advent, Christians observe the connection between the first time the Son of God came into our world as the Savior and the second time he will come as the Judge. Advent prepares our minds and hearts, so that we might soon celebrate a real Christmas. Join us for the series: A Real Christmas.

Men of His Word Conference
2024 Men of His Word Conference – Built to Serve
This year’s theme is based off of Galatians 5:13 You, my brothers and sisters,
were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather,
serve one another humbly in love.
Do you ever wonder if you’re the right man for the job? I think I’ve spent most of
my life trying to figure out what I’m good at doing. We all want to be good at
something. Whether we realize it or not, God has given each of us the exact
abilities we need to do the work he has planned out for us. And, Galatians 5:13
reminds us that Christ has set us free so that we can use those abilities to serve
one another in love. Join us at Men of His Word to learn how you are Built to
Serve in all of the different vocations to which God has called you.
The 9th Annual MOHW Conference will be held at the Mayo Civic Center in
downtown Rochester, MN on Saturday, October 26th, 2024. Additional details
and online registration are available at www.menofhisword.org . The registration
fee is $75 for adults and $40 for youth – these rates increase to $90 and $50
respectively after October 20th
. Please join us for a day of worship, praise and fellowship in God’s Word!

This presentation is given by Aaron Shaper, professional counselor for Christian Family Solutions. In our current culture of blame-shifting and irresponsibility, it is especially important for parents to learn ways to shape responsible behavior in their children.

There will be a time of fellowship between services in conjunction with this special event.
