Obituary and service information for Carol Dahlen.

https://www.glendenilson.com/obituaries/carol-dahlen

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:4-7

Blessed be the memory of Carol Dahlen.

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. 2 I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 I heard a loud voice from the throne say, “Look! God’s dwelling is here with humankind. He will dwell with them, and they will be his peoples. God himself will be with them as their God. 4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more. There will be no mourning, crying, or pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” 5 Then the one seated on the throne said, “Look! I’m making all things new.”

Su***de rates for farmers are significantly higher than the national average. Awareness of our own well being as well as our neighbors is extremely important considering the volatility of the ag sector we currently find ourselves in. The MN Department of Ag is offering regional meetings, including one in Fergus on October 1 to educate and heighten awareness. Please share this information with others.

You are not alone, help is available, and YOU MATTER.Farm su***de rates in the United States are estimated to be

Many of you have shared how moved and inspired you were by Pastor Birgitte’s message and ministry when she visited earlier this summer while I was on vacation. Here is another opportunity to support that ministry. As we’re doing our seasonal fall closet clean outs, bring your shoes or boots to Pastor Julie’s office. She will bring them to Pastor Birgitte, OR better yet, if anyone is interested, we could go on a day trip adventure to visit People’s Church and see what the Spirit is up to in the ministry of People’s Church. We would go later in September/early October so we can enjoy the fall colors and fellowship along the way. Let Pastor Julie know if you’re interested.

We got both these pairs of shoes donated to us, and guess what...we love them both! We are constantly in need of tennis shoes. If you purchase a new pair for you, keep us in mind to get rid of your old ones! Your old tennis shoes can make a great pair for someone who has no shoes at all. Drop off shoes (or any other donations) to our church between 5pm-10am any day, or all day Sundays.

Just a reminder we will have a blessing of backpacks and teachers this Sunday, August 30!

Students of all ages - bring your backpacks to worship on August 30 to receive a blessing and a backpack tag!

08/23/2026

Fortunately, God created us with the ability to multi-task so you can follow Jesus AND follow us on Facebook!!!

Upcoming happenings the next few weeks:

August 23: Worship at Grue 9:00/Peace 10:45
August 30: Backpack Blessing. Students and Teachers, Bring your backpacks for a blessing and receive a backpack tag as we embark on a new school year. Worship at Grue 9:00/Peace 10:45
September 6: Switcheroo Sunday. We change worship times for the next four months. Worship times Peace 9:00/10:45 Grue.
September 13: Vikings Season Opener against the Packers. Everyone is encouraged to wear attire to support their favorite team. (Note: Just because Pastor Julie will be wearing purple does not mean Lent is early this year ). Kickoff is at 3:25 pm so “I need to be home in time to watch the game” is not a legitimate excuse for missing church. Worship times: Peace 9:00/Grue 10:45

Hope to see you at church!

Wishing our friends at First Presbyterian and Our Savior’s-Ten Mile the very best in their next chapters of ministry. We look forward to continuing our connection and friendship with both congregations.

For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope.

In the words of Luther himself:
“This is most certainly true.”

Happy Belated National Joke Day! (It was yesterday, I wish I would have known that yesterday during worship!)

Today is National Joke Day! We have a bit of Lutheran humor to start your day - and a reminder that we will ALWAYS serve coffee after our 10 am Sunday worship. 😂☕
