SUNDAY SERVICES AT 8:30 AND 10:30 A.M.


Our friends from Luther Seminary and Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary have put together a daily devotional to guide us in our advent reflections. It is especially during these weeks before Christmas that I encourage all people to take time to slow down, to breathe, and to pray. Because the world is filled with frantic activity, advent brings us back to the heart of what this season is about.

Memorial Lutheran Church & St. Croix River Valley



On Saturday I was given the opportunity to ride in the bucket of a ladder truck. You've heard me speak of the beauty of our location. I got some great pictures from a different perspective to give you an idea of our church building's location. We're experiencing some unusually warm days for September in Minne… Continue

New Orleans - National Youth Gathering

Hello all. Just a quick note to say we're having a good time. We are being pampered with rooms at the JW Marriot.

Gathering officials and New Orleans businesses did not seem fully prepared to receive 35,000+ people. The restaurants were running out of good and many of them had 2-3 hour waits. Our youth did not eat dinner until after 11:00 p.m.

Today we got to see pictures to remind us of the destruction from hurricane Katrina. We also spent time at the InterActive Center where youth could lear… Continue

Independence Day Parade Humor

Each year the city of Afton hosts an Independence Day parade. It is simple in structure. Show up with a float and pull in line. Parade starts at noon. Procede down the one main street and come back. Parade is usually done by 1:00 p.m. A couple thousand people show up to watch the parade. It is truly small town americana at it's finest.

Memorial Lutheran Church usually puts together a float highlighting our upcoming vacation Bible school and get our name out in the community.… Continue

I want to thank you for a great example for using the BOF resources. I have been looking over your shoulder (and others) the past few weeks, watching how you conducted your on-line Bible Study. We South Dakotans have been slow to catch the BOF fever...but inspired by what you have been doing, we have begun a study of Philippians on our SD Synod page. We have had an encouraging response, and I know we will build from this new experience. Thanks again...see how shared Faith grows!
