Greetings Members and Friends of The PORT,

We hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. Attached is the link to the June newsletter, which will be posted on our website very soon.

We have a lot happening in June! We're celebrating the graduates on 6/8, and we'll be having "Donuts for Dudes" on Father's Day. Our first of three outdoor worship services will be on the 22nd (weather permitting) as we have our annual Blessing of the Animals service. So bring your pets on a leash, or bring pictures of them if you prefer, and let Pastor Steve bless them! 

Pastor Steve and Pam Rose will be attending the Minnesota Annual Conference in St. Cloud from 6/11 - 6/13. On Thursday evening, 6/12, Pastor Steve will be Ordained during the "Celebration of Life in Ministry Service", which will be livestreamed on the UMC Conference's Facebook page. See details on page 2, following the pastor's article. We are so happy and proud of Pastor Steve's accomplishment, as he has been working toward this for a long time. 

On 6/29 we will have to say farewell to Pastor Steve and his wife, Berri, as his six month interim period at The PORT comes to an end. We have been so blessed to have his faithful leadership and his thought-provoking method of teaching the scriptures that he loved to share with us every week. Please join us on the 29th to thank them for their time with us and to wish them all the best going forward.

Please plan to join us on July 6th when our new pastor, Rev. Steve Nuessle, will lead us in worship. We'll have much more about Pastor Steve and his family in the July newsletter. 

We hope you and your family will have a happy and and safe summer, and we look forward to seeing you very soon at The PORT!
