We raised $2,000 on Sunday night during the Lifting Up Minot concert. All the proceeds will be sent directly to Christ Lutheran Church in Minot, North Dakota, which is our fiddle player, Evie’s, home church. Minot was recently devastated by severe flooding.
Greenback Transit Authority played and they convinced Matt Farrand to pull out his saxophone. It was a great night with great music. The youth ministry did a nice job prepping for the evening and served fantastic coffee drinks. Awesome night overall!

Many thanks to Brianne Griggs for organizing the rummage sale last weekend! She came up with the idea to help raise money to cover some of the costs of our new gravel parking lot. The sale raised $1400! How amazing! Thank you to all the awesome people who volunteered and donated items!
