                           Come and Worship with us this month

Update: As of the 1st of September, taking steps to comply with social distancing practices, we have reinstituted Holy Communion on the 1st and 2nd Sunday of each month. Also, beginning October 4 we will resume our Adult Bible Study before worship at 9:30 am Sunday mornings. All are welcome to attend. 

​Dear people of God:
Moving forward during this time of Covid-19, the following is happening:
1-We continue to be open for worship at both Salem and Sauk Valley (50% capacity).
2-Face masks are now required unless you have a medical condition that prevents usage.
3-Hand sanitizer to be used as you enter the church.
 4- Every other pew will remain empty so that we can maintain physical distancing as we worship. 
5- Offering plates will not be passed but placed at entrance to the church for your gifts
6-Livestreaming on Facebook and posting on our website will continue at both churches.  During this time we have   discovered (by God’s grace) a new outreach tool for which we are grateful.

We ask for your prayers and your financial support for our ministry.  We are also very aware that some (maybe many) of you are not ready to be physically at worship.  We respect each person’s decision in this matter.  Whether you are physically present or virtually present we are still one body of Christ. 

We pray for God’s guidance and protection during this time.
 
I continue to be available by email (saljohnhopper@gmail.com) or by phone (1-307-949-0120).  Please contact me with any concerns.

Also please share your offerings and gifts with either Salem or Sauk Valley. 
Send them to either:  Salem Lutheran Church, c/o Ben Redning, 19115 Ebony Rd., Osakis, MN 56360
                                        Sauk Valley Lutheran Church, c/o Bob Thielen, 12323 150th St., Osakis, MN 56360.
 
God bless all of you.  Stay well and safe.
