Welcome to the Congregational United Church of Christ

Detroit Lakes, Minnesota

Dear friends,

Today I'm writing to invite you to church for August 14 and August 21

Vicki Riedinger will be leading worship on August 14 and The Band will be playing.
Vicki will focus on the scripture Luke 11:1-13.
When thinking of the Lord's Prayer she invites you to:
Listen to the verbs 
Give, forgive, lead, deliver 
Hallowed is Your name 

Listen to the verbs 
Ask, receive, seek, find, knock, and 
The door will open                              ~Vicki Riedinger 

On August 21st, the church will be celebrating 150 years as a congregation.
Please join us at GAR Park at 317 Washington Ave here in Detroit Lakes.
This spot marks the location of our congregation's first church building.

Rev. Jim Clausen will be leading worship this special Sunday.
It will be a celebration of music and looking back and looking forward.

Coffee and cookies will be served following the worship service.

Please bring a chair and dress for the weather.
In case of rain, we will meet at the church.

The Congregational Church of Detroit Lakes was formally organized on August 12, 1872. The original location of the church building was on North Washington Avenue. It was across the street from Washington School. The Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) Park now stands where the building once was.
