2022 Getting our Mojo Back
Covid-19 moved from pandemic into endemic, allowing our church family to be together more and returning to past activities. Our Sunday in-person worship averaged 22 people in January and 61 people in December!
Over the year we were slowly able to start back up with coffee fellowship, remove our masks, return to musical activities and children's education programming. A welcome and stunning return to a new normal!
We continued virtual meetings such as Lectio Divina and W/ELCA until spring when started back in person.
We won the LS Servant of Christ award for our social outreach efforts.
Summer worship was held outdoors in our garden and church picnics were held monthly.
Two young women were confirmed and 11 new members were received.
Scandinavian meatball dinner was served in the fall.
