Thank you all for your participation in the annual  meeting yesterday!   All reports were in order, all Church officers had their ducks in a row, things went great!  One notable achievement during the meeting was the approval of the budget.  Its not just the approval of the budget, but also the inclusion of $2000 for immediate release to the ELCA for Haiti relief efforts. We also had an animated discussion about the idea to create a History Task Force.  In broad terms, the History Task Force will be tasked to develop a method to preserve the history of Rollag Lutheran Church.  This is an exciting development, and much interest and ideas were expressed during and after the meeting.  Keep the buzz going!

Title: Rollag Annual Meeting

Description: We will have a brief service, then adjourn to the Church basement to conduct our annual meeting. A couple of topics that we will cover: Church History Task Force, Talent Survey, and any other topics you would like to see discussed.  Gratefully, we have no large capital instensive projects planned!   Also, we are looking for council members. We have several who’s terms are expiring, and we’re looking for motivated volunteers. For any question and comments and additions, please contact me; either when you see me at Church, you could place a note in my box, you could call me at home 937-5510 or mobile: 701-371-3874 or even email me at herb@rollaginc.com.  Thanks, and we look forward to seeing you at this vital Church function!

Hey did you miss out!!! The Luther League headed for the hills on Saturday January 16th - the weather was great and skiing and snowboarding was a blast. We had 11 people attend. Check out the pictures. Everyone did great some had never skied or snowboared before and they all did great, no broken bones, maybe a few bruises and there may have been a little pride hurt, but all in all very fun!! Jess may have decided that skiing really not her thing, I guess when you fall 15 times, I may just say it is off my bucket list!!

Wow! Little too dicey to be heading out on Christmas Day with the blizzard heading into town. Please check the site for additonal updates, and stay warm and best wishes!

We try to keep it simple in our day to day world, and usually fall short.
Every year the Sunday School students provide us with a Christmas Program which reminds us that simple is always best- as they remind us of the beautiful story of Jesus’ birth.
Gran and Rollag will present their program on Sunday, Dec. 20th at Rollag during the 9:30 a.m. service.
Park will have their program on Christmas Eve at 5 p.m.
We invite you to come and hear again the wonderful reminder, through the telling of a story, that keeping your life simple also helps to keep us closer to God.
God’s peace,
Pastor Jim

Last Sunday we put a few boxes together for Operation Christmas Child.  Spend some time taking a look at their website and find out more about this fabulous organization!

We are in a time where people are moving out to the country, seeking a different pace, and we are able to offer them 3 established churches with people who are willing to welcome new members in.

On Sunday, Oct. 25th, we are welcoming new members into our parish. If you are interested in joining- please let Pastor Jim, or call the parish office: 937-5499- leave a message- and Pastor Jim will get back to you as soon as possible.

Also, we are having a new member orientation to help people have a better understanding of what it is we do at the Rollag Church.

We are 3 Churches- 1 Ministry and we’re better when we work together to build up the body of Christ.
