SAVE THE DATE – new member brunch on November 3 between services. Enjoy good food and fellowship!
“TAKE HEART IN YOUR GRIEF” will be offered at Shepherd of the Valley starting Sunday, October 6. Pastor Marcis and Pastor Wolfgram will lead the six-week course beginning at 6:30 each Sunday. If you are mourning the death of a loved one and would like support and information to help you navigate the journey of grief, “Take Heart in Your Grief” will prove to be a blessing for you. To register or for more information call the church office at 701-258-4231.
EVERYONE HIS WITNESS (E1HW) “emphasizes listening to people to understand their worldview and where their lives connect with Jesus’ story. It does not focus on learning witnessing scripts or methods for engaging total strangers.” E1HW will be held on October 12th from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM with time allowed for lunch that will be provided by the church. The cost to attend the workshop will be $10 to cover the workbook used in the training. The goal attendance for this workshop is 36 people divided into 6 groups of 6 people. The deadline to register and order your workbook for E1HW is September 19th. Sign up today or email our Vision Path chair anncwnd@gmail.com.
SUNDAY SCHOOL SUPPLIES NEEDED – We are planning a project that requires paper towel and toilet paper rolls. If you have some at home we would love to have them! Please save these and drop them off in the labeled box outside the coat room. Thanks for your help!
