Nick Dryer and I talk about the Our Saviors Lutheran Church Mercy Care program and it's intent. Mercy Care and a program I developed called The Noodle Ministry have joined together to provide Ramon Noodles to indigent prisoners at the Ward County Correctional facility. Listen into the hows and whys of how we are showing mercy. Minot Today is broadcast over the air on two Minot radio stations. It can be heard on Fridays, 12:15am on 106.9FM radio or at 4:45pm on 1320AM radio or you can listen anytime by visiting my podcast site right HERE. 10/12/2019

Christmas is most well know for disrupting schedules but let's not forget Holy Week as well. To many Christians Easter is far more important than Christmas. Every person we know has been born but only one has risen from the dead.This evening was the final Wednesday night Lenten service and thus next week will be Holy week. The church we attend is Our Saviors Lutheran Church - MS and we offer a Maundy Thursday service at 7:00 PM. A Good Friday Service at 7:00 PM and four Easter Services.6:30 AM Sunrise Service8:15 AM Traditional Worship with Communion9:30 AM Traditional Worship11:00 AM Contemporary WorshipEASTER BREAKFAST served from 7:30 to 11:00 AM   04/10/2019

Timmothy N. Timm is one of Our Saviors Lutheran Church's newest members via the confirmation process as of this afternoon.The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod has a 3 year confirmation process that is very challenging that not only requires 4 hours a week (for 3 years) of education but also requiring servant events but much more.Tina is very proud of her "Little Brother" and asked me to take their picture together.The best part of Timmothy's journey has been that on Friday when I met with our Pastor (as my friend) for coffee he told me that Timmothy has a real heart for God as did one of his teachers today.There are a lot of things I haven't gotten right but this is one thing I did get right, raising my children with a moral rudder. 05/07/2017

Last week I interviewed Mark Haugen, a Minot ND contractor for the radio program Minot Real Estate Today on KHRT AM Radio but after the interview we kept the tape rolling as we visited about an upcoming mission trip to Juarez Mexico.Please listen in as Mark tells up about Our Saviors Lutheran Church annual trip which comes up at the end of February. 02/18/2017

I'm not exaggerating! Of course even a real frog has better singing skills than I but the FROGS at church is our Children's choir.I'm surprised my kids prefer to sing with this choir over the adult choir because I think they are at the age they could sing with either. Lucky for them they did NOT inherit their dad's singing skills.If you are new to Minot ND and you are looking for a house of worship that "Rocks The House" you want to visit Our Savior Lutheran Church. We have a ton of musical talent including a pastor who was a professional guitarist with The Young Americans and a drummer who used to play with Prince as a studio musician not to mention several music teachers. Music is a HUGE part of our ministry so you can appreciate it even if you sing like a FROG (or a toad like me). 02/14/2017
