Callaway
Assumption Catholic Church Callaway grew. In 1907, the Catholics in the village of Callaway were served by Fr. Otto Weisser, OSB, the pastor at Sacred Heart, Frazee. Mass was celebrated first in a private home and then in the village hall. Because of the distance between the two towns, services were irregular, and in 1908, the Callaway mission was attached to St. Michael’s parish in Mahnomen. Bishop McGolrich, Bishop of Duluth, the diocese to which Callaway belonged at that time, granted permission to build a church in Callaway. Construction began in 1908. Assumption has been a solid parish ever since. The parish has been served by numerous pastors, missionary priests and religious over the decades. It was again made a mission parish to Sacred Heart, Frazee, in 2003, with Fr. Joe DeCrans as pastor. Fr. Xavier Ilango, also pastor of Sacred Heart, currently serves the Assumption parish.

From the horse-drawn sluchiers that dug a basement under the original building to a total refurbishing of the church during the winter of 2013, parish members have repeatedly worked as a group to keep their church a beautiful place to worship and celebrate their unity as a Catholic parish.

Welcome to Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church of Callaway, Minnesota. Our church is a part of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod; a “synod” means to walk together. We walk together under a theme of “Touching Lives forever with the love of Jesus” through Word and sacrament ministry. You are invited to come and grow with us as we reach out in love to the lost with a message of hope through our Lord Jesus Christ. “As God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience… And over all these things put on love, which binds them all together… Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts… Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly…” Colossians 3:12-16
Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church Even before the establishment of the Immanuel Endowment Fund in 2002, the congregations of Immanuel Lutheran, Callaway and Trinity Lutheran, Ogema began discussing the possibility of coming together. After much study and prayer, in July of 2009 ground was broken for the construction of a new church building. At the April 2010, Joint Council meeting the congregations officially became known as Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church. You are welcome to visit us for worship at 9:30 a.m. every Sunday or 7 p.m. on Wednesdays. We look forward to sharing the love and hope of Jesus to all. On Tuesday, August 14, 2012, we are hosting our 2nd annual Military Appreciation gathering at 7 p.m. Everyone is welcome.

- 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.
Rev. Kristy L. May
One place of vitality at Circles of Faith UCC is worship together at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday mornings. During the school year, children begin in worship and then leave for learning in Sunday school while adults sing, pray, and learn in the service. On many Sundays, there is hearty fellowship for all following worship!

The UCC is a welcoming, justiceminded Christian community: - We are a people of the continuing testament. God is continually revealed: in the Bible, in stories throughout the ages, and in our stories 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!
,
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, both locally and around the globe. We do this in deed and indeed through our offerings and through special service projects. “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,

Summer Worship 10:00 a.m. SEPTEMBER THROUGH MAY SUNDAY SCHOOL & BIBLE STUDY - 9:00 a.m. Worship - 10:00 a.m. What We Believe Regarding the Bible & Salvation We confess that the books of the Old and New Testaments, as written by the prophets, apostles, and evangelists, were given by inspiration of God. The Holy Scriptures are without error in everything they teach, including matters of geography, science, and history, and they are the only infallible rule and norm of Christian doctrine and practice. The Scriptures not only contain the Word of God (as if to say, some of their teachings are the authoritative Word of God and others are not), but they are the very Word of God in their entirety. The Scriptures are true and reliable in all that they report, including their accounts of Old Testament and New Testament miracles. We, therefore, regard the denial of these miracles as blasphemous and as setting up man’s reason as a judge over God’s Word. Since the term “inspired” is often used in a loose sense, we frequently use the expressions “verbally inspired” and “inerrant” in describing the authority and reliability of these sacred documents which God caused His servants to write. (John 10:35, 1 Cor. 2:13, 2 Tim. 3:16, 2 Pet 1:20-21, 2 Pet. 3:15-17, 1 Thes. 1:5, 2:13) Although there are many in the world who claim to follow and worship a “supreme being,” only those who believe in the Triune God —
Immanuel Lutheran Church Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — can be saved. (Deut. 6:4, John 10:30, Matt. 28:19, Acts 20:28, Rom. 8:9, 2 Cor. 13:14, I Pet. 1:2, Col. 2:8-9, John 5:23) We confess that the true way of salvation is revealed only through God’s Word, and any claims for revelation of the way of salvation through other means must be rejected. The main purpose of Holy Scripture is to reveal to us that Jesus Christ is our only Savior. (Rom. 15:4 and 16:25-26, 2 Tim. 3:15, Luke 24:25-27, John 20:31, Rom. 10:14-17, Jer. 23:25-29, John 14:6, Acts 4:12)

We are members of the Evangelical Free Church of America. For a complete statement of faith, you can go to our website at www.lakeeuniceefchurch.org

Mt. Olive Lutheran Church was first organized in Detroit Lakes in 1954 as a group of concerned Lutherans dedicated to maintaining the truth of God’s Word in doctrine and life. As a congregation we are dedicated to the proclamation of the pure gospel. Knowing the Bible to be the verbally inspired Word of God it is seen as the only source of true doctrine, the divine standard for faith and life. As a congregation we strive to bring Christ’s gospel to this fallen world, speaking the truth in love, reaching out to the community and beyond with the gospel, building up the body of Christ through instruction in God’s Word. Along with the Sunday School, we also give opportunity to study God’s Word in our Bible Class. This is held during the school year on Thursday evenings at 7:00 p.m. at the parsonage (Pastor’s residence). It is located 7 miles east of Detroit Lakes, 17923 Co. Hwy. 29. Come and hear this gospel of Christ. It is the Truth that sets you free from sin and guilt. Mt. Olive is affiliated with the Church of the Lutheran Confession.

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 Seventhday 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 232 recognized countries by the United Nations we have a presence in 209 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 17 million members (on average about 3,176
Seventh-day Adventist Church people join the church each day or more than one million people annually). As a local church we belong to the ministerial 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 our Coronary Health Improvement Project, Stress relief, total lifestyle management in our “CREATION� Seminar, Money Management, 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. Pastor Fred Crowell

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 9, 2013, and will continue through September 1, 2013. 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 Essentia Health in Detroit Lakes. 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 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!

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!

Box 926-1100 Lake Ave. Detroit Lakes, MN 56502 Tel: 218-847-7630 Fax: 218-847-2952 Email: zionlcms@arvig.net Website: www.zionlutherandl.org Pastor: Gary Rehborg (Interim) Sundays Services: 8 a.m. & 10:30 a.m. Thursday Service: Zion Lutheran Church, LCMS 7 p.m. Worship Sunday School/Youth Forum: 9:15 a.m. • Musical Ministries: Choirs, Vocal Groups, (Sept. thru May) Children’s singing groups, and Praise Leaders • Outreach: Visitation, Hospitality, Prayer, Adult Bible Class: Publicity, and Faith Friends Sunday 9:15 a.m. • Womens Groups: Womens’ Missionary League, Wednesday 10:00 a.m. For 126 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, Midweek Children’s programs, and Library resources
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).”
