THANK YOUSherry Brevick, Amanda Carlson, Sara George, John Graber, Doug

Jorgenson, Mavis Kjarland, Amanda Komisar, Sarah Komisar, Joanne Lerum, Nancy Lund, Jenohn Newcomb, Jamey Noel, Rich Noel, Emily Post, Claire Raethke, Lisa Raethke, Chad Riesgraf, Leigh Riesgraf, Tonya

Roundy, Tracey Seifert, Jeannine Tulip, Shannon VanAllen & Leila Wieser.

These individuals have taught Sunday School or Confirmation, coordinated our Milestones Ministry or served on our Education and

Youth Team this past school year. Hope we didn’t miss a name -- because you are a gift!

God calls all of us to grow in faith. No one can do that alone. We need the presence, enthusiasm and love of another person -- someone willing

to share how knowing God has made a difference in their lives.

So thanks folks listed above ... thank you for your time, preparation, and commitment to our kids. Thank you for hearing Jesus’ call to follow and fish for people. Thank you also to all of the families of our Confirmation students. They led servant events and kept us going with great snacks.

And if you served, you have discovered a secret. When you reach out in faith to our kids ... God touches your life as well. The grace comes

flowing back in your direction. There’s an amazing reciprocity at play ... the generous Holy Spirit! We answer the call to fish for people and find ourselves caught in Jesus’ net of joy, mercy and new beginnings as well.

Thank you for . . .
