Youth Activities
St. Paul, MInnesota May 6 and 7
Great trip to the Twin Cities with our Youth Group! Thanks Melody, Dawn, and Yen, for all the help! This morning we worshiped with the people of Redeemer Lutheran in North Minneapolis. Got to connect with Pastor Kelly Chatman. We met Beatrice and she got us working on some serious weeding of the garden! We made some great progress today! We even found another Vehrenkamp! Beatrice also shared with us her story of how she grew up in Kenya and now finds herself finishing her Ph.D. at Luther Seminary and Gardening with some kids from Wisconsin! Thank You to all who helped, prayed, and made this happen! God is good!

Our children took center stage Sunday, as the Sunday School sang at the start of service, the 2-3 year-olds led us in a table prayer, and finally one sweet kiddo surprised Pastor Dave with a little lamb kiss. Confirmation class introduced a farewell "peace be with you" song at the end of service. All in all it was a touching and inspirational experience.
