As summer kicks off here in Duluth, we’re excited to share some of the great things that have kept us busy over the past few months. It’s been a time filled with growth, connection and plenty of fun that’s brought our community closer together and built up God’s kingdom. Here’s a peek at what we’ve been up to.

March: Fun and Fellowship

We kicked off March with a game night, featuring some of our recent favorites: Bananagrams, Organ Attack, and Settlers of Catan. It was great to see both familiar and new faces enjoying the evening together.

Later in the month, our Young Adult Ministry had a pizza night followed by roller-skating at a local rink. Some of us were new to skating, but it turned out to be a great time for everyone. We ended the month with a members retreat, which was a great break, offering a chance to relax and recharge.

April: Outdoor Adventures and Creative Outreach

April brought warmer weather, perfect for a post-church hike on a local trail. It was a small but glorious taste of the summer weather to come. Our Young Adult Ministry also had a bowling night, where we discovered who the real bowlers were—though everyone had fun regardless of skill.

As the school year ended, we said goodbye to several students moving on to new adventures. We celebrated with a grill-out at the Street Level House, sending them off with our best wishes.

May: An Action-Packed Month

We got to do so many awesome things in May! We started things off with a work day where we put a fresh coat of polish our coffee trailer, did some yard work and installed a giant neon sign on the top of our church. We’re happy to share that you can now clearly see us from the local freeway!

Since hauling a huge sign like that up to the top of the church was something of a feat, we’re glad that God blessed our efforts and kept everyone safe and sound.

We hosted our annual rummage sale in May as well. This is always a great day of serving together and raising money for missions, both domestic and international. We also saw lots of returning customers, as many people make a point to stop by every year! We served breakfast, bakery and lunch from our coffeehouse, and espresso drinks and coffee from our coffee trailer.

Looking Forward to Summer

As we look towards the summer, we’re excited for everything God has for us. Please keep us in prayer as we enjoy the warmer weather together, get outside more and make friends in our communities. Until next time!
