Reminder Effective this morning, October 1st, ELCM is no longer offering worship services at the Beaver Creek Church in Forest City, and has consolidated our mission efforts into one location at the North Prairie Lutheran Church, rural Leland, Iowa. Worship services for our North Prairie mission will be each Sunday at 9 a.m. with Holy Communion offered the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Sunday of each month and all major festival Sundays. If you have any questions about the ELCM North Iowa consolidation, please contact Pastor.

Bible Study Due to a lack of interest, there will be no formal Tuesday morning Bible study. This Bible study will resume if and when there is expressed interest. We will, however, continue with our Wednesday evening Bible study at 6 p.m. in the sanctuary at North Prairie.

Wednesday Worship Beginning Wednesday, October 25th, we will be adding a Wednesday evening worship service on a trial basis through the first of the year. This service will begin at 7 p.m. and will be preceded by our Wednesday Bible Study at 6 p.m. There will be a different sermon preached at the midweek service, so even if you already attended Sunday morning or listened to the KIOW broadcast, you will have the opportunity to be fed by different message. Holy Communion will be celebrated twice each month at this service. Invite your friends, family members, co workers, and neighbors to come and worship with us on Wednesday evenings beginning Oct. 25th!

Reformation Era Service On Tuesday, October 31st, we will be comemmorating the Festival of the Reformation with a special "Calling All Lutherans" Reformation era worship service with Holy Communion. This service will begin at 7 p.m. and we will learn more about the various reforms made by Martin Luther to the worship life of the church. Invite a friend to come and join us for this unique worship experience as we learn more about the life of Martin Luther and give thanks to God for the return of the Gospel to the Christian church at the time of the Reformation!
