Meetings tend to be informal, using a blend of contemporary and traditional music, and teaching focusing on the full Word of God and its application to life.

We Believe: 1. The Bible to be the inspired and infallible

authoritative Word of God. 2. There is one God, eternally manifested in the

persons of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

3. In the virgin birth of Jesus Christ, in His vicari-

ous and atoning sacrifice through His shed

blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascen-

sion, and in His personal return in power and

glory upon earth.

4. Regeneration and conversion through faith in

Jesus Christ is absolutely essential for the

salvation of lost and sinful humanity.

5. The gospel includes holiness of heart and life,

healing of the body, and a personal experi-

ence­with the Holy Spirit, whereby the gifts of

the Spirit become active in the life of the

believer.

6. A life awareness of the presence of God’s

kingdom here on earth today, and faith in the

complete restoration of the kingdom of God

upon the earth.

Christian Fellowship Church 7. In the bodily resurrection of believers at the end of time: the just unto eternal life, and the unjust into eternal damnation.

8. In the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Visitors are welcome at all meetings. Even if you are not currently involved with another local congregation, please come, and enjoy some Christian Fellowship!

(218) 472-2966 Worship: 10 a.m.

Sunday School: 10:15 a.m.

Circles of Faith is a part of the United Church of Christ, whose official motto is “That they may all be one.” It is the union of three United Church of Christ (U.C.C.) congregations in April 1995. We also live out unity by being broadly welcoming of all peoples and working closely with other churches and the community.

We sum up our beliefs with the simplest and oldest Christian phrase: “Jesus is Lord.” Just all that this means takes a lot of prayer, discussion, study, and living, together and individually. So that’s what we do. We don’t all believe exactly everything the same; we learn from each other, and trust that God works

in each of us as we keep on growing. As is often repeated in the United Church of Christ, “Never place a period where God has placed a comma – God is still speaking” The heart of our life is worship together Sunday mornings at 10:00 a.m. During the school year, children may leave for Sunday School as adults continue to pray, worship, and learn in the service. Fellowship time afterwards is a great time for all ages!

Additional opportunities for study for adults, youth, and all ages happen through special series throughout the year. Women’s Fellowship coordinates many of our service projects to the local community. We also reach out through mission trips and offerings to serve across the country and world.

No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome at Circles of Faith United Church of Christ.

Mission Emphasis

Service Opportunities We believe we are called by God to worship, to educate and to serve. As we live out our mission, we seek to unite individuals in worship, to nurture the development of individual and community faith, and to encourage service to others. In these and many other ways, we seek God’s vision for our future while attempting to honor our heritage of more than 130 years of faithful ministry.

This congregation is a diverse gathering of people.

We strive to adhere to the essential truths of the historic Christian faith while at the same time recognizing that God is still speaking. We also recognize that faith is personal in nature, thus we endeavor to remain open to God’s moving, growing Spirit in our midst. Therefore, we respect individuals as they faithfully raise questions and grow spiritually. For this reason, people of various religious, social and personal backgrounds are welcome in the life of this congregation.

The Congregational Church UCC We celebrate being part of the United Church of Christ, and the local church autonomy that is ours.

We elect our leaders and call our own minister. All decision making processes rest in the membership of this congregation. We believe this enables us to be acutely responsive to the moving of God’s Spirit around us and within us. We believe that, by God’s Grace, we have lived this faithfully since 1872, and by God’s enduring Grace, we continue to do so. For this we are truly grateful.

May the blessing of God remain with you now and always.

The Lake Eunice Evangelical Free Church had its beginning as a Bible study and prayer group in the homes. They also held Sunday school classes in various homes. In the winter of 1893, it was apparent that they needed a church building. On March 12, 1893, with 26 members present, they incorporated as a church. The church was then registered as the Swedish Mission Church of Christ, a non-denominational organization. John Halstad, who was chairman and elder, donated the land for the church (which is now the cemetery).

The church was a one-room building with a cellar beneath, which was just large enough to hold a wood burning stove. Across the road to the North was a livery barn built for horses to be sheltered during the services.

The Church was served by circuit riders and Traveling Evangelists until 1910 when the first Pastor was called. It was at this time that the parsonage was built on land east of the church, donated by Emil Dorff. In 1914, it was voted on to call a pastor from the Evangelical Free Church Association, which was the beginning of our association with the Free Church organization.

Between 1934 and 1941, the Church constitution was drawn up. The fellowship was very active at this time, they took part in services in other churches, old peoples’ homes and the Lake Park Orphanage.

In October of 1943, the Church was moved across the road to the site where it sits today. A full basement and entry were added. Electricity was also added at this time.

Lake Eunice Evangelical Free Church In 1985, the width of the church was doubled by adding on to the North and East sides. This addition was accomplished with a lot of hard work on the part of the pastor and the congregation.

The women’s ministries have always been active in the church and the community, making items for the oversees Missionaries, the free church orphanage in Chicago and the Free Church Nursing Homes.

During the 116 years of existence of the Lake Eunice Evangelical Free Church, the Bible has been taught in all its truth and fullness, to the glory of God, and the edification of believers in faith, hope and love. To spread the gospel at home and abroad, and to instruct young and old alike, in the work of God and Christian living, is the purpose of the church.

We believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, sent by the Father into the world, as the Savior of all who put their faith in Him. This congregation believes the Bible, the Old and New Testaments, to be the Word of God, and the only true and infallible guide for faith, doctrine and life. Our faith is briefly stated in the Apostles’ Creed. We believe in the personal, visible and imminent return of our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. Acts 1:10-11.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. 1 CORINTHIANS 15:58

You can go to just about any country on earth and you’ll find a Seventh-day Adventist church — or one of the denomination’s hospitals, clinics, universities, colleges, or other health and educational institutions. Having grown from 5 million members in 1985 and now exceeding 17 million (on average about 3,176 people join the church each day or more than 1 million yearly). The Seventh-day Adventist Church is the fastest growing Protestant Church in the world. The church has its presence and officially organized work in 204 countries, more than any other Protestant denomination. However, Adventist Development and Relief Agency International functions in 125 countries of 230 recognized by the United Nations.

Among the ministries of the Detroit Lakes Seventh-day Adventist Church is the Adventist Community Services Thrift Store at 514 Summit Avenue. It is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The Community Services volunteers also assemble bedding packs and layettes for emergency use in the case of fire, flood, or other disasters whether local or elsewhere. The ­ministry is entirely a non-profit organization and is operated by volunteers from the Adventist Church and the community.

The Adventist Christian School is another ­ministry of the church. Operating since 1915, the school is open to students in the community as well as the church family. The school engages the students in various classroom and outdoor activities, which function as an integral part of the overall prepa-

Seventh-day Adventist Church ration of the student, who at the end of his/her training would emerge one day as a fully-equipped and mature individual ready to selflessly serve God and community. In December of 2005 the students moved into the new school wing and gymnasium where many school and church events are enjoyed throughout the year.

A special emphasis is put on the Coronary Health Improvement Project (CHIP) classes designed to teach the community how to change the good life into the best life by reducing cholesterol level, weight, diabetes and blood pressure medication, lowering cancer risks, improving quality of sleep, and enjoying many other benefits. Another health oriented outreach program is The Breathe Free Seminar that helps individuals to quit smoking.

The mission of the Seventh-day Adventist is to proclaim to all people the everlasting gospel in the context of the Three Angels’ messages of Revelation 14:6-12. The commission and love of Jesus Christ compels us to lead others to accept Jesus as their personal Savior and to unite with His church, and nurture them in preparation for His soon return.

That’s at the heart of the church’s mission and is accomplished through preaching, teaching and healing ministries.

Gary and Ruby Danielson Gathering Place Dedicated in 2007

24263 North Melissa Drive Lake Melissa & Sallie, MN Rev. Tim Cook Dan Danielson Worship: Sundays at 10:45 A.M. The Hattie Goodman Chapel, known as “Shoreham Chapel”, located in Shoreham Village, at the intersection of County Road 22 and North Melissa Drive, between Lakes Melissa and Sallie, began their services June 7, 2009, and will continue through August 23, 2009. Sunday Service begins at 10:45 AM. The Shoreham Chapel is non-denominational and open to all. This Chapel has occupied a special place in the hearts of Minnesota lake country vacationers and residents since the turn of the century.

In 1902 the chapel was built by Fredrick Goodman in memory of his wife Hattie. In those

Shoreham Chapel years pastoral duties were shared by several ministers until Rev. Gary Danielson started officiating in 1960, and then retired in 2006. On October 14, 2008, Pastor Gary Danielson went on to see His Lord. A memorial service was given on June 14, 2009 in appreciation of Mr. Danielson. The pulpit will be shared this summer once again: Dan Danielson, son of Gary and Ruby Danielson and director of the New Life Center in Fargo, and Rev. Tim Cook, Chaplain of St. Mary’s Hospital in Detroit Lakes.

The chapel now has indoor plumbing along with an area for gathering which includes the following: a handicap ramp for entering the chapel, a complete kitchen and a new bathroom!

The chapel is also available to rent for weddings, funerals, baptisms, etc...

For more information, please visit us online at www.shorehamchapel.com, or call Bill Schuett at 612-396-3021 or Jean Rolle at 218-847-7138 If you are in the area on the Lord’s Day, we invite you to come and worship with us!

The objective was to provide a more ­convenient location for the Indian parishioners to worship. The same church is still being used today. St. Benedict was served by

God keeps me happy and so safe, I never will feel lost.

Behind the rose the sky is blue Like heaven’s sky may be.

We, the members of the Detroit Lakes United Methodist Church, understand ourselves to be a missionary force of Christians, called

by God to be about the Church’s ministry of transformation by: INVITING persons into a faith relationship with God through Jesus Christ. NURTURING their growth in faith, and SENDING them equipped for their ministry of transformation into the world.

United Methodist Church WHO WE ARE: While a congregation simply cannot have a single theology (owing to the diversity of each member), we do experience common ground in describing our faith. Each community takes on its own particular theological personality; important phrases, images, themes, words, assumptions, discernments and habits of the heart tend to emerge and govern the whole body’s theology.

Our theological personality as a congregation tends to reflect the following: • God is the “Ground of Being” itself, “in which we live and move and have our being.”

• Incarnation: God’s self is embedded in all creation.

• A faith relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

• We find our true lives in the mystery of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

• An understanding of ourselves as God’s “beloved” daughters and sons.

• Commitment to cooperating in, recognizing and building God’s Reign in our midst by: our prayers, our presence, our gifts and our service.

• God’s Kingdom is not in some distant future, but in our midst, “has come near.”

• God’s self revelation is multi-dimensional, and is found at least in these authorities; Scripture, Church Tradition/Teaching, Reason, Our Experience, Creation.

• Faith is defined as a “relationship with” rather than “belief in” God. • Tolerance/Acceptance of those who differ.

• Diverse images/names of God (not only male names/images).

• Appreciation of John Wesley’s “Plan of Salvation”; Prevenient Grace ¯ Justifying Grace ¯ Sanctifying Grace • Transformation or Sanctification (the process of becoming more whole/ holy) is our life-long privilege as God’s beloved children.

• Salvation is a community experience as well as individual.

• Emphasis on hospitality, openness - rather than purity & separation.

• Belief that God is a God of abundance, and that we are “Blessed, to be a blessing.”

• Full assent to the early Wesleyan phrase; “In essentials, unity. In non-essentials, liberty. In all things, charity.”

Come, join us in transformation & ministry!

Zion Lutheran Church, LCMS

For 116 years Zion Lutheran has based its beliefs on three basic principles: Scripture, faith and grace. The scripture is the only source of knowledge about God and His will for us. Grace tells us that as human beings, we cannot earn God’s love, forgiveness, or everlasting life. IT IS A GIFT OF HIS LOVE. Only by faith in Jesus Christ do we receive forgiveness. Through faith in Him we come into a relationship of peace with God. Word and sacrament are the means of grace for our forgiveness and salvation.

• Musical Ministries: Choirs, Vocal Groups, Children’s singing groups, and Praise Leaders • Outreach: Visitation, Hospitality, Prayer, Sponsors, and Publicity • Womens Groups: Womens’ Missionary League, Guilds, Bible Study, Altar Guild, Quilters, Office Helpers • Social Needs: Various groups such as Elders, Stewardship, LWML, Outreach, Music, offer opportunities to serve others or to be served in time of need.

Many opportunities and spiritual blessings await you at Zion! We welcome all who wish to participate in our worship services and other ministries.

MINISTRIES

WE BELIEVE IN:

Our worship service consists of confession, hymns of praise and thanksgiving, scripture readings, prayer, and fellowship. Other everyday ministries designed to help us grow in faith and reach a personal relationship with God are available.

• Education: Bible study for all ages, Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, Confirmation Classes, Midweek Children’s programs, and Library resources

• STUDYING God’s Word as the source of direction for issues of the day • SPEAKING the truth of God in love toward one another • SERVING our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in Word and deed

“The mission of Zion Lutheran Church is to equip all people through God’s Word and Sacraments to be disciples (believers, learners, followers, and sharers of Christ)”.
