Marti Knudsen, wife of Pastor Josh Knudsen, has been hosting “Muffin Mornings” at the parsonage in Carthage every Saturday morning from 9-10:30 a.m. since June 17, and they will continue until July 29. It is a casual and informal time to gather, have fellowship, connect and discover how to nurture the fruits of the Spirit. All gals are welcome to attend.

Jean Wormstadt, Judy Wormstadt, Jerolyn Dean and Janet Peskey attended the national Women of the ELCA’s Tenth Triennial Gathering at Minneapolis, Minn., July 13-16.  There were 3,322 ladies in attendance, with 1,323 of those being first-time attendees. There were two buses of ladies that went from South Dakota.
The gathering was filled with presentations by featured speakers, Bible study, worship services, servant events, film screenings, vendor booths and informative workshops. The gals really enjoyed their time there.
