The Big 3
#1) Women’s Ministry Gathering Night
Join us on Friday, March 19th at 7 PM in Fellowship Hall for an evening of literary fun for the “Share Your Shelf” Book Swap. Pass along your favorite theological books, fiction, non-fiction and children’s books. Please do bring books that our own librarians would approve of! We look forward to getting to know you better as well. Bring a sweet or savory treat to share! Questions? Email Mary Lynne at
#2) 40 Days for Life
40 Days For Life started Wednesday, Feb 17th, and runs through Sunday, Mar 28th. We are looking for people to come and pray for one hour in front of Planned Parenthood. Please login to the website 40daysforlife.com to sign up. Please pray in pairs when possible. If you have questions, please call Ron Krahn at 605-370-9947.
#3) Hidden Acres Registration
This summer we would love to send as many students as possible to Hidden Acres, a fantastic Christian Camp in Dayton, Iowa. There are camps for many different age groups. The church is providing a $175 scholarship for any student who wants to attend. Contact the church office by May 15th to let them know if you want a scholarship.

Thank You from the Herman Family
Thank you so much for the plant, and even more so for all the beautiful cards and thoughtful prayers in the recent passing of my mother. We are so blessed to be a part of such a caring and supportive church family. —Craig & Chris Herman family
