Week of July 20, 2025

• Thank you to Jerry & Sherry Lecy for serving our coffee fellowship hour this morning. Come and visit with your pew partners!
• Please stay after church, grab a cup of coffee and hear Anne Meurer give a talk on her thesis she wrote for her Master’s. This is a DEEP committee sponsored event. Come and learn. Are we being inclusive to children with disabilities? Is our worship space accessible and safe? These are questions not just for us but in a broad sense for all rural churches.
• WELCA Ladies: Your next meeting is at the Beach Park! Meet at the big pavillion on Tuesday, August 5th at 11am with a dish to pass and a roll of quarters to play the dice game Left Center Right. Serving ware and beverages provided. This is always a fun time. We are so lucky to live on the Mississippi!
• This is a reminder that Pastor Dave and Pastor Chris are on sabbatical until Aug. 12. During this time, we will not be emailing a link of the worship video.
• Wabasha County has launched a new website. This platform is packed with valuable resources, creative ideas, simple recipes, and even calming techniques like mindful breathing. www.wabashacountyaware.org
• Our July Shepherd is Rachel Kropp. Please text or call her with congregational joys or concerns. 651-564-0368.
