We'll worship outdoors again on July 4th! Bring your chairs (and an umbrella for shade if you'd like) and stay for a popsicle after!

Remember, Pr. Collette is on vacation until July 8th. Please call Pr. Kristin with any pastoral needs.

Did you see the survey in your July STAR last week? We're preparing for fall and we'd like your input. If you receive the STAR via email or if you'd just prefer it, fill out the survey online here: https://blcmankato.breezechms.com/form/FallWorshipSurvey

Don't forget to have August 22nd on your calendar to celebrate Pr. Collette's ministry at BLC on her last day. We'll have cake, coffee, and fellowship in the parking lot after worship.

Letters P-Q were added to the name tags this week. We still need 100 more! We need ALL NAME TAGS returned. EVERYONE is getting new ones made. Please do not hang onto them. You can drop them off in the office. Also, please wear your name tags when you come to church, so Pr. Kristin can learn your names. See the updated look here.

Are you engaging in the study guide for our summer series? The questions are thought-provoking and the art is beautiful. Learn more at blcmankato.org/summer.

Our new website and church management system, Breeze, offers so many exciting ways we can streamline our communication with you. Using Breeze to send you weekly updates is one of the ways we can keep our email list consistent and accurate (it also saves time and money!).
Additionally, our new website features a "News & Updates" blog, which you can follow right from the home page (blcmankato.org). By including all the details there, you can easily reference it at any time.

The website also integrates the Events Calendar from Breeze. You can view the calendar and event descriptions on the website, but you can also check into worship and register for events by using your own Breeze account (don't have one yet? Contact Emily in the office).
