Rev. Gary Hegstad’s contact info: (712) 348-4093 or

The Worship Team had a lengthy discussion at their recent meeting about the noise level before the service starts. The noise is mostly caused by conversations at the back of the sanctuary as people arrive for church.

To minimize the distraction, bulletins will also be available on a table in the fellowship hall for those who come in from the south entrance.

In the future it would be helpful, in preparation for the service, to be seated right away when entering the sanctuary. We want to continue to be a welcoming congregation, while showing reverence and respect as we enter a time of worship. Thank you, The Worship Committee
