Hello, everyone!
What a great way for the faith community of First Lutheran of Salol to stay in touch! Hopefully, this blog will get updated each week, sharing news of life at our church.
My name is Bonnie and I am a Synodically Authorized Minister in this great little country church. I'll be posting about the goings-on here, the folks who make things happen, upcoming events and announcements. Feel free to leave a comment, or let me know if you would like to be a guest-poster.
Today in Salol, the quilting ladies have been at it again, tying quilts for Lutheran World Relief. I am lucky to have my office hours on these days, as I always get invited to join them for coffee and visiting. Today we had some yummy cake with lemon filling, ice cream and whole wheat flatbread. These gals really should run a bakery!
Tomorrow night is our Lenten service. There is a soup and sandwich meal at 6:00 and the service at 7:00. We've been having a series from Creative Communications for the Parish called "Angels Watch in Solemn Wonder". There's an old gospel song that reminds us that, while on the cross, Jesus could have called "Ten Thousand Angels" to free him from that suffering. Our Lenten series reminds us of who those angels were, what other roles they played in God's plan for salvation, and how they may have wondered at the price that Jesus paid for our souls.
On Friday evening, we are watching a DVD from the ELCA's Mosaic series called "The Life of Apostle Peter". This documentary is hosted by Rick Steves, a publiv television travel host and guide book author.
God bless you!
About Me
- Bonnie
- Hello, I'm Bonnie and I am a Synodically Authorized Minister (SAM) SAM-I-Am! While not an ordained pastor, my ELCA synod, the Northwest Minnesota Synod, has authorized me to function as a minister of Word and Sacrament at First Lutheran of Salol. Rural churches sometimes have a challenge in attracting pastors and the SAM program allows for lay people like myself to provide ministry. I have been here at Salol since August of 2007 and together we are worshiping our Father God, Savior Jesus Christ and Counselor Holy Spirit. We bear each other up in fellowship, seek to grow in discipleship, minister to the needs of each other and the community and tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love! If you are in the area, feel free to join us for worship Sunday mornings at 9:00.
