Debs Trinity will hold its Ash Wednesday service at noon on Wed, March 1.  

A light lunch will follow the service.

Our Redeemer's will hold its service at 7:00pm on Wed, March 1.

March is Food Shelf Month

March is the biggest food and fund drive of the year for food shelves.  It is especially important because during the summer months the use of food shelves is high but donations are at their lowest.  The money raised in March truly keeps the food going until fall when donations pick up again.

There are many ways to help.  

You are encouraged to visit the Bemidji Community Food Shelf website for more information.

Cash donations are accepted and appreciated.  

Or you may contribute food items.  Diane K. from our church is an active food shelf volunteer.  If you bring your donations to church on Sunday she will deliver them to the food shelf for you!

(Thanks, Diane!)

Potluck Lunch. 

No Potluck on Feb 5

We had a large and festive potluck last week after our Annual Meeting and Mortgage Burning Ceremony.  Therefore, we will not have a potluck on the first Sunday in February.

The next potluck is March 5th.

Coffee & Rolls 1/15/17

Please join us next Sunday (Jan 15) 

at 9:30am 

for coffee, juice, tea, and rolls 

before worship service at Our Redeemer's.  

Annual Meetings

The Our Redeemer's Annual Meeting will be held on Sunday, January 29, immediately following the worship service.

This meeting is usually fairly short.  The two main objectives are for the congregation to vote on the budget set by the Council, and to consider for election the nominees to the Council. 

After the meeting, the congregation is invited to join in a potluck meal.  This year, we will also celebrate the mortgage for our church remodeling project being paid in full.  We have paid off this debt ahead of schedule thanks to the hard work, generous donations, and solid commitment of our church family members.  Thank you to everyone that contributed toward the project which fixed our building, drainage issues, and added a handicap accessible restroom.

Please also remember that Trinity Lutheran in Debs will hold their Annual Meeting on Sunday, January 22.  To allow the Pastor to attend that meeting, 

Our Redeemer's will worship at 9am on Jan 22.
