 MAIN STREET LIVING SUNDAY – Today we celebrate Main Street Living Sunday.  Main Street Living is in its 13^th year of proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ to the people of South Dakota and the surrounding area.  The program is aired weekly on KDLT-NBC out of Sioux Falls and on KEVN-Fox out of Rapid City.  Throughout the years this program has become the alternate method of worship for those who cannot regularly attend church.  We thank God for this television ministry and we ask for your prayers for continuing success in the years to come.  We also ask for your help with the financing of this mission work as it costs about $2,200 to air each weekly program.  Please use the provided envelope and either send it directly to the MSL office or just place it in the offering today and it will be forwarded to MSL.  Thank you very much for your prayers and your support!

 Main Street Living – May 4^th – The featured speaker will be Rev. David Ellis of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Menno and St. Paul Lutheran Church in Scotland.  His sermon theme will be “Is the Old Testament Relevant Today?”  The program is interpreted for the hearing impaired.

SENIOR SUNDAY – Please plan to join us next Sunday for our Senior Sunday worship service and the reception afterward.
