Outdoor Worship in Renville – Sunday, August 5
Our annual outdoor worship service & hog roast will take place on August 5th next to St. John’s Lutheran Church in Renville. The worship service will begin at 10:00am with a concert and hog roast to follow around 11:30am.
Our musical guest this year will be the Divers.
The Divers have been entertaining audiences with their varied musical style for over twenty years. Good fun for every age group, the band features a unique sound that mixes elements of folk, rock, bluegrass, blues, and jazz. Join us for worship, celebrate our fellowship of faith, support Little Lambs and our new called workers, and enjoy a day of good food, good music, and great fun. Bring the whole family, invite your friends and neighbors, come on out and rejoice in the day the Lord has made.
Please note that there will be no worship service at St. Matthew’s in Danube on August 5 as all of our local congregations will be coming together for this worship service in Renville.

Joint Ministry Presentation
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever… We rejoice that the message of the salvation through Christ Jesus and God’s holy will remain the same day after day, however, we know that the we bring this unchanging message to a changing world. On Sunday, July 22 our congregations engaged in a conversation that discussed how we might face the challenges of change and take on the opportunities that God has placed before our area congregations. May the Lord bless our efforts to share the unchanging message of the Bible to a changing world.
Below a link for our July 22 worship service is listed. The special presentation on joint ministry begins around the 1 hour mark in the video.

Confirmation Sunday – May 13
After instruction in God’s Word, Holly Ferguson and Chandler Ferguson, publicly 
confessed their faith in a special confirmation service on May 13. During the service Holly and Chandler recited portions of the catechism, answered questions concerning their faith, and recited Bible passages. They also made promises to remain faithful to God’s Word and declared their intent to become active members of St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church of Danube. May God bless Holly and Chandler through this experience as he strengthens and confirms them in the faith, and may he build up and edify the entire congregation through their confession.
O Lord, send to us your Spirit!
Sanctify us by the truth, your Word is truth!
