Hawley Lutheran Church –LCMC Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ
Worship, grow in faith and serve the Lord.
No matter who you are, or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here.
Greetings HLC Family, All in. To be fully committed to a task or endeavor; to give or be prepared to give all of one’s energy and resources toward something. In life, in marriage, in parenting, in our careers, in sports, we get the idea of being all in. It’s what we strive for, what we work for, what we encourage in our kids and grandkids. When it comes to things that matter, we are all in. But what about being all in for faith? Why is it that when it comes to faith, the church, religion, we struggle and waver about being all in? Research reveals some of the challenges we encounter when it comes to all in faith. The Christian Church has developed a reputation of being judgmental, hypocritical, and politicized. Christians talk a lot about Jesus, but don’t walk much like Jesus. When it all comes down to it, the message the church is sharing just doesn’t resonate with people. For whatever reason, the Gospel isn’t being conveyed, shared or lived out in a way that impacts our day to day lives. It just doesn’t matter. This grieves my heart, not because I’m a pastor, but because I am a sinner, with a broken, messed up past and story, who was rescued and transformed by the relentless love of Jesus.
So, how do we live out our faith and a testimony of Christ that matters? First, we speak the truth: It has been a trying few years. Our church is coming through a challenging season. But more than that, the world is a desolate, dark, broken place. It feels overwhelming. This is followed by a promise: we have this Light, this hope, this anchor, this promise. His name is Jesus. Then, we go all in. Heart. Soul. Strength. The following pages include information for all the ways to be all in this fall and school year. There are many opportunities to know Jesus, grow in faith and go in service. Not just to do things, fill the calendar and check the box, but because it matters. Brothers and sisters in Christ, this fall I invite you to be all in, for the name and renown of Jesus.

Hello there, I am Erik Carlson, the new youth director and worship leader here at Hawley Lutheran Church! I am so excited to join you, and be a part of the awesome ministry that happens here! First I would like to tell you a little bit about myself. I was born and raised in Fargo ND, graduated from
Fargo South High school in 2007, where I played baseball, football, and played the saxophone in the band and jazz band. I then went to Concordia college in Moorhead, where I majored in English literature, played football, and was in a few worship bands for a student led worship that would happen on Sunday evenings. I was raised in the Lutheran faith, being baptized at Wolverton Lutheran church, and growing up going to Trinity Luther-an church where I was very active throughout high school and college. After graduating from Concordia, I began working at Peace Lutheran church in North Fargo. I worked there for 4 years, as their youth director, but ended up having to leave when the position was changed to part-time. I then spent the next couple years working towards an education degree, and working at a lawn-care company in Fargo. My then fiancé and I went to church
on a very random Sunday we were supposed to be out of town for, and I ran into some old friends, who asked if I was still interested in ministry. Well next thing I knew I was working at First Lutheran Church in Fargo for the next 3.5 years, as their senior high youth director, I also helped lead worships as well. My wife Kari and I got married in January of 2018, and welcomed our first child in March of 2020. His name is Hugo, and all three of us are very excited to join the ministry happening at Hawley Lutheran Church! I thoroughly enjoyed my time at FLC, but when this opportunity arose for me to come to Hawley Lutheran Church, God definitely hinted at me that this was a place I should be. I am really excited for the ministry opportunities that HLC provides. I am really looking forward to leading worships with you all. On that note if you have any interest at all about joining the worship band as a singer or musician please contact me ([email protected] or 701-367-1198)! I am also very much looking forward to starting a new youth group and senior high ministry team here, I have lots of plans for this coming school year and summer. In peace,
Erik Carlson
September:
ALL IN To be all in is to be fully committed, ready and willing
to give all of one’s energy or resources for a cause.
When we’re all in, we don’t hold back. We’re all in.
What then does it mean to be all in with God? Well,
Jesus told us: heart, soul, mind and strength. All In
will examine Mark 12:30 and the command to love the
Lord with our heart, soul, mind, and strength. As we
grow in an understanding of these words, we see a love
of God and others
that defines our
entire being and
life and impacts
our church and
community for the
glory of God.
Begins
September 12 and
September 15
October:
THE MESSAGE THAT CHANGED ME As Christians, we believe the word of God is living and
active. We don’t hear much about the personal
experiences (testimonies) of how the word of God came
alive in the lives of believers. And yet, many people can
point to a passage of scripture and say, “that’s the
one.” The Message That Changed Me series will be
an opportunity for Hawley Lutheran to hear from
various preachers about passages of scripture that
impacted, transformed or clarified the Gospel. The
final week of the
series will be
Confirmation
Sunday, in which
we celebrate our
Confirmands and
be challenged to
take hold of the
message that
changes
everything.
Begins October 10
Be watching the mail for info on Senior High Youth
Ministry beginning Wednesday, September 15!!!

It is an exciting time at Hawley Lutheran as Fall arrives and we continue our long history of ministry! We celebrate that we are a congregation of new members and longer-term members of all ages and stages of life. God has generously given each of us gifts, talents, and life experiences to be shared for His glory and in service to others, both in
our daily lives and in His church. In the coming weeks you will hear about needs and opportunities to become involved in sharing our unique gifts in the ministry of HLC. Various Teams (formerly called "committees") will focus on many wonderful areas of ministry. Each of us is invited and encouraged to become involved in big or small ways. Please prayerfully consider where you feel called to share your time and your gifts to enrich our ministry. Consider these words from 1 Corinthians...
Chapter 12: 4-6. There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work...12. Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts for one body, so it is with Christ...27. Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it."
Together we are blessed to be a blessing!
