Come play outside games, sing together, and celebrate a great year of Kid’s Klub. No need to sign up-just come and have fun!

Each year Fish Lake Lutheran sets aside a Sunday in June to honor, celebrate, and affirm the accomplishments of any new graduates within our congregation. The tradition of giving each of our high school graduates a hand-made quilt continues again this year. Our quilting group has been working hard to make just the right quilt for each graduate! We invite you to join with us in worship on Sunday, June 3 to give thanks for, to pray for, and to celebrate this wonderful accomplishment in the lives of our graduates.

We have decided to offer a Block of the Month again next year starting in June 2012.
The cost is $8 a month, with a special rate of $80 for the year if paid in full at the time of registration in April, May and June. This year we are again offering two color choices using Batik Fabrics. Click here for a Registration Form!

Planting season is just around the corner and the Social Ministry Committee wants to focus on supporting two important growing opportunities. One is our local vegetable garden here at Fish Lake which donates its harvest to local food shelves. The other is the Companion Village Plot which provides help to the villagers of Wasa, Tanzania, our partner village in Africa.

The University of Minnesota Agriculture Program and Tumaini University of Iringa, Tanzania have partnered to offer this educational opportunity. Through this program villagers learn effective and sustainable farming practices that will improve their soil and increase yields. Villagers see how they can have enough produce for their own families and even have some to sell to others. We have a chance to make a long term difference in the lives of our brothers and sisters in Wasa!
 
Throughout the month of May, you are encouraged to purchase gift cards for gas, groceries, clothing, home improvements, etc. The commission from sales of the cards will help support the Companion Village Plot. You may also make direct donations to the Companion Village Project through the church office.
 
There will also be an opportunity for you to purchase chances to win a beautiful quilt displayed by the information table in the church basement. The proceeds will go to purchasing seeds and supplies for our local garden and to support the Companion Village Plot in Wasa. Chances will be $5 apiece or 3 for $10. The drawing will be held after church on May 27th. You need not be present to win. There are beautiful photos of the Wasa Ag Plot on display in the basement– be sure to check them out!
 
Together we can make a huge difference in the lives
