Have you heard of Rogation Sunday? It was a new tradition for me, but a lot of fun! 🚜🌤🌱

Rogation Sunday is tomorrow morning! All are invited to bring ag vehicles, equipment, and clothing for blessing during worship. We'll begin the service outside on the lawn at 9:00a!

I’m thankful that the severe storms stayed north of town tonight! 🌩️ Here’s a timelapse I took of the south side of the supercells moving north and east of us during the tornado warnings earlier this evening. 🌪️ The storms’ outflow boundary rolling over later in the video is probably my favorite part.

Have we not had much of a chance to get to know one another yet? It’s hard in just a few minutes each Sunday, and I realize many families have busy lives during the week! Consider having me join you for a meal to get to know one another a bit better! (The fellowship is what’s important, so no pressure to cook anything fancy!) Sign-up can be found on the entry table upstairs, and linked below. Looking forward to it!
