WELCOME TO THE LAKES AREA! We trust that your time here, whether just visiting, vacationing or a life long resident, is an enjoyable one.

Berean Baptist is a local, independent, congregation of like-minded Bible believers.

SCRIPTURAL POSITION The Word of God is the only inspired revelation from the Lord to man.

Jesus Christ is the only Son of God, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died an atoning death for the sins of all men, ascended to heaven, and will come again for His own.

Jesus Christ is the only way to eternal life.

Salvation is in faith in Christ alone, not the church and/or it’s ordinances.

There is a coming return of Christ and judgment of the world.

“Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:12

WORSHIP Our worship services follow the direction given in I Timothy 4 to be diligent to

CHURCHES OF THE LAKES 2017

the reading of God’s Word, exhortation in God’s Word and teaching of the doctrines of God’s Word.

SUNDAY SCHOOL Berean keeps a year round schedule of Bible classes for all ages from adults to preschool and also a staffed nursery. Each class is geared toward learning more of Christ and His Word.

SUNDAY EVENING Berean has a Sunday evening service year round. The last Sunday evening of the month is “fellowship” night with a “kettle blessing” following the evening service. You are encouraged to come!

TRUTH TRACKERS Every Wednesday evening at 7:00 pm is a time for children ages 5 to 12 to learn more of the Lord and His Word including crafts, music and games.

Christian Fellowship Church was founded in 1968 as a place where Christians from all denominational backgrounds could join together in worshipping the Lord Jesus Christ in a family atmosphere. 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.

5. The gospel includes holiness of heart and life, healing of the body, and a personal experience with the Holy Spirit, whereby the gifts of the Spirit become active in the life of the believer.

We Believe:

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

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 vicarious and atoning sacrifice through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension, and in His personal return in power and glory upon earth.

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.

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!

4. Regeneration and conversion through faith in Jesus Christ is absolutely essential for the salvation of lost and sinful humanity.

“Come and see what God is doing!”

Circles of Faith is a congregation of the United Church of Christ, a Protestant denomination formed in 1957 through the merger of the Congregational Christian Church and Evangelical & Reformed denominations.

The UCC is a welcoming, justice-minded Christian community: - We are a people of the continuing testament. God is continually revealed: in the Bible, in stories throughout the ages, in creation and our faith-in-action.

- We are a people of extravagant welcome, extending hospitality as a sign of God’s inclusive love. We are the ones who affirm, No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here!

- We believe the church’s mission is to change lives – individually, globally, systemically. To do this, churches need to be places of vitality in worship, learning, and advocacy.

We work to make transformation possible, yet trust in God’s grace. We’re not a perfect church, but we do try to live faithfully. We cannot do it all, so God’s work is done in cooperation and collaboration with folks of other faiths.

CHURCHES OF THE LAKES 2017

One place of vitality at Circles of Faith UCC is worship together at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday mornings. Special music is often a part of our worship services. We are child welcoming and A2A, “accessible to all” with a handicap ramp and hearing assisted devices available on the narthex table. On many Sundays, there is hearty fellowship for all following worship!

Another place of vitality at Circles of Faith is special opportunities of study throughout the church year for folks of all ages. And we reach out around the globe and locally to embody God’s transformational love. We do this in deed and through our offerings and through special service projects.

We thrive in collaborative relationships with our neighboring churches and community members and partners.

“Come and see what God is doing at Circles of Faith UCC!” Come back again!

And if you don’t have a faith home, we hope you’ll consider Circles of Faith UCC, where God is still speaking.

An Open and Affirming Congregation

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 140 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.

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.

OUR MISSION: Inspire the World with the Inclusive Love of Jesus.

WELCOME TO FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH PAGE: Our goal at First Baptist is to proclaim the Word of God in a relevent uncompromising Christ-centered manner so as to help believers grow in their faith and to lead unbelievers to a knowledge of the saving power of Jesus Christ.

WHAT WE BELIEVE: Purpose: A phrase that well represents our purpose is “Great Commandment PassionGreat Commission Focus.” Our vision is to work together with a great commandment passion (Loving God – Deut. 6:5;Luke 10:27) to fullfill the great commission (Making Disciples – Matt. 28:19,20).

We want to develop biblical churches that are spiritually alive, culturally relevant, unified in spirit, mobilized for ministry, expressing compassion for the whole person, sensitive to the needs of all people, and aggressive in evangelism and church planting throughout the world. Ultimately, here at First Baptist, we want to be a church that is producing mature, healthy followers of Jesus Christ. We invite you to come worship and grow with us!

Affiliation: We at First Baptist Church of Detroit Lakes are a part of a national asso-

CHURCHES OF THE LAKES 2017

ciation of churches called the Conservative Baptist association of America, or CB America. Our regional (geographic) fellowship is called the North Central Conservative Baptist Association or NCCBA. It includes the states of North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan.

Doctrinal Statement: We believe in the accuracy and authority of the word of God (the 66 books of the bible) for all matters of faith and practice.

We believe in the one true God who eternally exists in three distinct persons; the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe all people are sinners by nature and by choice. We believe that God offers forgiveness and salvation to anyone who turns to Christ believing in His substitutionary death on the cross, His burial, and His bodily resurrection.

We believe that baptism by immersion is an act of obedience that follows salvation.

We believe that Jesus Christ will come again to first take up (rapture) His people.

He will also judge and rule on the earth. In His time He will create a new heaven and new earth.

Celebrating the Past; Embracing the Future Now after 100 years of ministry, First Lutheran Church is celebrating the past while embracing the future. We give thanks to God for everyone who has been a part of God’s hands and feet here in Detroit Lakes through the mission of First Lutheran throughout the last century. As we celebrate what God has done in the past, we are excited for the next chapter.

First Lutheran is here to help you connect with God and connect with each other. Love and relationships is the center of God’s work in the world (and God’s work in you!).

• Worship is the heart of First Lutheran, with a traditional service throughout the year at 8:30 am on Sundays. We also have a contemporary service on Sundays, which is at 10:45 am during the school year in the sanctuary; and 10:15 am during the summer, outside on the south lawn. Also during the school year, we have a Wednesday evening service at 6:15 pm in the sanctuary. This service has an alternative order of worship, which is meant to draw you into the service in new ways.

• Faith formation and fellowship go handin-hand. Check out our website starting at www.firstlutheranchurch.com to see the many opportunities for all ages for faith growth that are coming up this next school year. Some will be at church, some will be in homes, and others out in the community.

Faith formation is a gift so that we can learn to see God in our day-to-day lives, which gives us hope and a foundation for life.

There is dedicated children’s, youth, confirmation, and adult faith formation time during the school year on Sunday mornings at 9:30, and Wednesday evenings at 6:45.

• Service and justice is another central part of First Lutheran, serving both our local community and our larger world. Check out Christmas at Our House; the Children’s Christmas Store; and making kits to help a variety of people from new refugees in Fargo to babies across the world— just to name a few.

Come and find a place in the body of Christ that gathers as First Lutheran Church.

You are welcome here!

You’re invited to join us at First Lutheran Church in Audubon! If you’re just visiting the area or live around here, you are welcome to join us. At our Sunday worship, we hear the surprising Good News of God in Jesus the Messiah: “while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” God never waits for us to clean up our act before reaching out to us in love. Jesus came “not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

You can worship among people who care about each other and about you, in a judgment-free zone. We sometimes joke that if the preacher doesn’t show up, we can probably muddle through, but if the organist isn’t here, we’re sunk! All joking aside, the preaching doesn’t focus on telling people how to live. Instead, we hear where the Bible meets us in the reality of our life today here and now, as the Spirit of God is alive and well and at work in whatever’s happening in our lives, good, bad, or ugly.

And the lively music will leave the gospel tapping your toes all week!

Our congregation is full of sinners and saints, who are focused on being God’s mission to our little corner of the world. We feel a special calling to the young people

in our community, and offer a Wednesday after-school program for elementary-aged kids during the school year. In this “On God’s Wings” program, we get to spend time with the kiddos, sharing stories from the Bible, singing, doing activities, and hosting a meal each week for the children and their families.

We have women’s and men’s groups that gather for fellowship and Bible study, a joy-filled group of quilters who meet together weekly, and a group of youth engaged in being the church. Our people see beyond the walls of the church building, knowing that the Word of God is not simply a story to learn, but a message of forgiveness and salvation that transforms us daily, brings new life, and sends us out into God’s world to share this good news, in word and in deed.

Whether you can only drop by a time or two, or are looking for a church family, you are invited to join us. We’re in town, one block east of City Hall, at 373 3rd St. For further information, please call 218-439-6500 or email us at firstlutheranchurchaudubon@gmail.com.

Dear Reader: Immanuel Lutheran Church is a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod with its main office in Mankato MN. There we have a member owned College: Bethany Lutheran College, and Bethany Lutheran Theology Seminary.

We live in a sinful world where much is taught and believed that is contraire to God’s Word. So what is different about Immanuel Lutheran Church and the ELS synod? We still teach the true Word of God from the Bible, administer the sacraments rightly, and follow what God says, not the opinions and thoughts of man. The Holy Scriptures are without error in everything, and are true and reliable. As it says in 2 Timothy 3:16, “All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness.”

world to save sinners, to be our Savior. He lived the perfect life and died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. By faith in Christ we now have forgiveness of all our sins and have the sure hope of heaven when we leave this world.

If these important thoughts make you think about God’s Word and His Church come and join us, we would love to have you. We also have Sunday School and Bible classes, confirmation, youth group, and choir.

May God bless your Day!!

Pastor John Merseth

If we look into our own hearts we soon see that each of us is guilty of sins against God in thought, word, and deed. You see Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God.” But thanks be to God there is good news! God still loves you and me. He sent His only Son into the

The advice to do something nice for someone follows logically from the golden rule, i.e., to “do unto others as you would have them do unto you” (Matthew 7:12), and is, in effect, a summary of the Bible’s teaching on morality. We all know how good it feels when someone does something nice for us, and so we “So in everything, should return the favor, or do to others what perhaps “pay it forward,” you would have as the saying goes. This can them do to you, be done in so many simple for this sums up ways, from helping someone the Law and the Prophets.” with their chores, to inviting —Matthew 7:12 someone to eat with you or NIV otherwise sharing your food, to just being there for others.

It doesn’t have to be expensive; sometimes the best gift is the gift of our time. A patient and understanding listener is often the best therapist. On the other hand, gifts are also nice. Who doesn’t like to be the recipient of a thoughtful gift? And monetary gifts are always practical. Sometimes the nicest things we do are the things we do for those who don’t expect it, or deserve it. If someone deserves to be forgiven, then it’s not a big deal to forgive them.

But if someone doesn’t deserve to be forgiven and we forgive them, that is a big deal. Do something nice for someone each and every day and occasionally do something really nice for someone who doesn’t necessarily expect it, or deserve it.

“We exist to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ” Lake Park Lutheran Church, a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America welcomed our new full time Pastor on June 18, 2017. Pastor Stanley D. Kwiecien was installed on July 16, 2017 by Pastor Paul Erdal from the NWMN Synod office in Moorhead. Pastor Stan is very personable and active in the community. He is also very kid-oriented as he has a fish tank, Moses the tortoise, and a collection of rocks in his office.

Kids all ages are welcome to check it out.

Our congregation, youth and Sunday school programs support this mission.

Our Faith and Mission – Believing that we are held fast by the hand of God, we express our thanks to Him by accepting the Old and New Testaments of the Holy Scriptures as His Word, which reveals to us Jesus as the Word of Life and the way of eternal salvation. Our mission as a congregation is to reach out and bring people into a living relationship with Jesus Christ through dynamic worship of God, vigorous study of His Word, loving care for one another and committed support of His work throughout the world. We not only believe these words but act on them through our Mission locally and also internationally with our companion village in Kipanga, Tanzania.

Our congregation is also mission minded with organizations in our surrounding community. We support area benefits, the Refuge, Churches United to name a few.

Our outreach programs include: Caring Hearts & Hands, a church library, Quilters, and our Worship & Music Committees.

These are only a few activities and missions we support.

Lake Park Lutheran has a 6 point companion parish in Kipanga, Tanzania. Our Sunday school youth raised funds for drilling clean water wells, our congregation has supplied the villages with medical equipment, medicine, and even a nurse. Some of the youth from the villages have been sponsored by our congregation enabling them to get a higher education.

A contemporary worship service will be held on the 3rd Sunday of each month with our Praise Band. Traditional services are held on the other Sundays. Our identity is based on our belief that the Church is the real presence of Christ in the world. All are welcome. Come worship with us.

Spiritual Maturity Just as we grow and develop physically and mentally, we should do so spiritually as well. Children grow and learn in relation to their parents in much the same way that we grow and learn in relation to God. We go from being completely dependent on our parents to being an integral part of our family, helping with chores and supporting each other, and in the process, we should also grow in love and appreciation for our parents and siblings. As children of God we will always remain dependent on God, but we should also mature to the point where we are “pulling our weight” in the spiritual realm. Spiritually mature persons will take the initiative to pray and do good works without having to be persuaded by others. They are also willing and able to accept hard truths about their own failings and will work diligently to improve. The

Getting Our

Lives

in Order

If you are unhappy with your life, or with certain aspects of it—and everyone has some area of their life that needs work—perhaps it is because you have tried to manage it by yourself. It might relieve you to know that God has a better plan for your life than you do, and it takes a lot of the pressure off ourselves when we decide to live by God’s plan. We aren’t responsible for our being here, since none of us created ourselves, and so it shouldn’t surprise us to realize that our Creator already has a plan for us. We should of course take some responsibility for our own well-being, striving to be as happy, healthy and virtuous as possible, but putting the responsibility for our entire life and life plan on ourselves is too heavy PAGE 34

a burden. It is folly to try to be the engineer and director of our own lives. Many of us have lived poorly by following our own path and need some help “I will instruct you and teach from God to get it together.

Consider God’s word as a user’s you in the way you should go; manual for how to get your I will counsel life together. If you’re not sure you with my what God has planned for you, loving eye on you.” a good place to start in the —Psalm 32:8 NIV Bible is the Book of Proverbs.

It is filled with Godly wisdom for living a good life.

St. Benedict’s Church was built in White Earth in 1939, replacing the church that was at the Mission site built in 1881. Father Justin Luetmer, O.S.B. was the pastor at that time and the church was built with the help of a donation from his mother who

was a widow. 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 Benedictine priests until 1983.

Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate currently serve the parish today. We are a welcoming community and encourage people to visit.

Be Thankful The advice to start and end each day by reflecting on what we have to be thankful for is almost guaranteed to get our day off to a good start. This has the immediate effectof putting us into a positive frame of mind, since we are usually focusing on something which we think of as good if we are thankful for it. It also has a tendency to create a virtuous cycle, since thinking about the things we are thankful for helps us repeat our successes and avoid our failures. And there is even a way to be thankful for our failures. We often learn valuable lessons from our failures, and disabilities or weaknesses can often create compensating abilities or strengths which we are justifiably proud of. The visually-impaired man must learn to use and trust CHURCHES OF THE LAKES 2017

his ears in ways that most of us consider extraordinary, in the same way that a hearing-impaired woman might use her sight to pick up on social cues “For everything God created is the rest of us would miss. and nothing Take time out of every day good, is to be rejected if to consider what you have it is received with thanksgiving, to be thankful for, and because it is a good time to do this is consecrated by the every morning before getword of God and prayer.” ting out of bed, and again —1 Timothy 4:4-5 at night, before going to NIV sleep.

Seventh-day Adventist church is a Protestant Christian church that believes very strongly in the shed blood of Jesus Christ. We believe Jesus lived, died and rose again that we might have eternal life if we accept that sacrifice that He has made for us. God loved us so much that He gave us His only begotten Son that we might have eternal life.

Because of that great love for us, we as Seventh-day Adventists have a desire to take the gospel to the whole world and let others know how they too can experience that love and have eternal life. The mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is to proclaim to all people the everlasting gospel in the context of the three Angels’ messages found in Revelation 14:6-12.

Seventh-day Adventist churches literally circle the globe. Of the 238 recognized countries by the United Nations we have a presence in 216 of those countries. We have a network around the world of churches, hospitals, clinics, universities, colleges, and schools from pre-k through high school.

The Seventh-day Adventist church was officially organized in 1863 and is recognized as the fastest growing Protestant church in the world today. Having grown from 5 million members in 1985 we now exceed 19 million members.

As a local church we belong to the ministe-

rial alliance and work closely with other churches and organizations in helping our community.

We have a Community Service Center with a Thrift store next to the church at 404 Richwood Road. The thrift center funds are used to provide life style seminars such as Stress relief, total lifestyle management in our “CREATION” Seminar, Money Management, Family Life, etc.

This center works through the Department of Human Services and other agencies in the area to provide assistance to those in need with clothing and household items.

Another ministry that we have locally is the Adventist Christian School that provides Christian education for students from kindergarten through eighth grade. The school has been operating since 1915 and is open to anyone that would like to send their children.

The school engages the students in various classroom and outdoor activities, which function as an integral part of the overall preparation of the student for a life of service for God and their community.

We want to invite each of you to come and experience for yourself our Church, School, and Community Service Center. We are open for all people and would love to have you come and worship with us. If you have further questions please feel free to contact us through the different media outlets listed above.

Please join us each Sunday this summer to hear The Lord’s Word, to listen to wonderful music from talented musicians and to enjoy refreshments.

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. Services will continue through September 3, 2017. 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 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 Danielson went on to see His Lord.

Pastor Tim Cook is now the chapel’s inspirational leader, known for choosing a theme each summer.

The chapel 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 bathroom.

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

For 131 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.

MINISTRIES

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, and Library resources • Musical Ministries: Choirs, Vocal Groups, Children’s singing groups, and Praise Leaders

• Outreach: Visitation, Hospitality, Prayer, Publicity and Caring Hearts Ministry • Womens Groups: Womens’ Missionary League, Guilds, Bible Study, Altar Guild, Quilters, Office Helpers • Social Needs: Various groups such as Elders, Stewardship, Men’s groups, Youth, 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.

WE BELIEVE IN:

• 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).”
