Living Faith worshiped with Pastor Jay Denne, Dave Grosenheider and Rich Ziettlow at O'Toole Park! 47 were in attendance to enjoy the beautiful weather and the words of Pastor Denne and music leadership of Dave and Rich!
We are grateful to all who made this special service possible:
Pastor Jay Denne for presiding for us.
Rich and Dave for choosing the beautiful music and leading us in song!
Dave Grosenheider for setting up his sound system and bringing it for our use!
Kay Michaelson and Kim Lang for assisting in worship.
Mark Juhl for bringing in his stage for our use!
Jim Heeren, Tim Kass, Mark Juhl, Kari Kopperud and Nick Shipley's Dad for their help in setting up and breaking down the stage.
Thank you to those who helped make the meal and fellowship possible following worship:
Dell and June Ferguson for cleaning up the shelter house in preparation for our noon meal.
The Leadership Team for their donations and organization for the noon meal: Kari and Judd Kopperud for the donation of the main dish and preparing it, Angela Catton for the bottled water, Mark and Cheryl Juhl for the condiments, and Kay Michaelson for the hamburger and hot dog buns.
The members of Living Faith for the delicious side dishes and desserts!
The day was made even more special when Bishop Lorna pedaled in to greet us in her Living Faith t-shirt! We were happy to hear her words about raising funds and awareness for World Hunger on her RAGBRAI trip across Iowa next week. Bishop Lorna and Pastor David Halaas were able to join us in celebrating Holy Communion and take part in our meal and fellowship afterwards!
Here are more photos from a special day!
Our offering totaled $1,205.

Sleep in Heavenly Peace, Sioux City, is an organization dedicated to building, assembling and delivering quality bunk beds to children and families in need as Sleep in Heavenly Peace believes no child should go without a safe, comfortable place to lay their heads at night. Pastor Trish Underberg reports that there will be another Sleep in Heavenly Peace bed build on August 9 from 6 - 8 PM. Living Faith members are invited to join in on this build! More details will be available next week.
The PUCC has extended an invitation for all who helped with the school bag and blanket project to attend worship Sunday at 10:00 where these items will be blessed prior to delivery in South Dakota next week. 52 school bags were constructed and filled with school supplies and 12 fleece blankets were tied!
