Thanks for considering helping with our painting project! As the image above says, just let us know if you can help! We will schedule around YOU.

Council voted to make some changes after the results of the survey. Masks will no longer be mandatory, just optional. We will continue to provide them just inside the door for your convenience if you would like to continue to wear one.
Additionally, starting SEPTEMBER 12 (NOT THIS WEEK!), Sunday church service will be at 9:00am, with Coffee & Fellowship at 10am and Education Hour at 10:30am. The Wednesday night schedule is TBD, but it will be similar or the same as last year (there will be dinner, service, choir, educations, etc.). Expect a congregational letter outlining all of the new schedules in mid-August.

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.

We still need 100 more! We need ALL NAME TAGS returned. Please return your name tags to the church on Sunday or during office hours by Sunday, August 8th. EVERYONE is getting new ones made. Please do not hang onto them. You can drop them off in the office. See the updated look here.

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).
