Invitation to Participate: Decades Service on Sunday, June 9

The Worship Arts Ministry (WAM) would love to have a speaker and musician approaching or firmly settled in each of the decade milestones. It is not needed to have all 9 decades (10 years old through 90 years old!) but a good range of ages would be wonderful. Share a story or song that has been meaningful to you during your life’s journey. Play your trumpet, your flute, your viola, your harmonica – sing a song from Madame Butterfly or the hymnal. Whatever is quintessentially YOU! If you want to be part of this beloved service, please email Laurie Moser or text/call at 763-234-4813 before the deadline of Sunday, May 12.
