Parish Activities
Parish Board sets the parish budget, makes recommendations back to the individual church councils, sets up parish functions such as a parish service instead of individual services, such as the service on the parsonage lawn in August when neither church was having indoor services.
Severe Weather Contact System
This service will notify families when severe weather cancels church services. It will also be used for meeting notices and church service cancellations or other urgent situations.
The system will use your cell number if it was provided or else we will use home number on record in the directory. If your home number has solicitor screening requiring someone to press 8, we need a cell number as the system won't leave a message when no one answers.
If you want to receive a Text instead of a call, please let Bonny know. Please text your name to Bonny at 612.840.9401 to add cell information to the system.
