The twelve days of Christmas have come to an end,
but we continue to sing and be radiant
over the goodness of God. We celebrate the light
that the darkness has not overcome,
Jesus Christ our Lord.
Welcome, Brothers & Sisters in Christ!
How about this for a
New Year’s resolution?
Why not resolve to regularly send a note or greeting card

Our church is the host for the month of January (5 Sundays!).

Youth Ski Retreat
People’s Congregational of Bayport (MN) has invited our youth to a ski weekend February 10-12 (Fri-Sun). We’d leave Waseca Friday evening, enjoy a full day of skiing on Saturday, and return Sunday morning (hopefully in time for church!) We will receive group rates on equipment rentals and passes. Pr. Chris will get info on meal prices. We need a count of youth interested in going and, just as importantly, adults willing to chaperone. Please talk to Pr. Chris.
