Due to inclement weather, Evening Chick Talk is canceled tonight. Easter Church will cancel all youth activities for the day whenever ISD #196 (Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan) cancels school, closes early, or cancels evening activities on that day.
If church programs are in session and the weather makes driving difficult, please use your best judgment to decide if you feel it is safe for you to travel to church.

Thursday, March 18, 6-8:30 p.m., Easter by the Lake
Cost: $12 per person (No reduced price for younger participants)
Theme: “I’m Over Here, Daddy!” Dads &Daughters Growing Together
Many a loving father has some memory of walking through the door saying, “I’m home!” And to hear the echo from an enthusiastic daughter, “I’m over here, Daddy!” As the years go by the relationship between dad and daughter begins to shift, but daughters always need to know that their dads are close at hand. Dads need to learn the subtle lesson of letting go. As children of one heavenly Father, all dads and daughters of the Easter Lutheran Church community are invited for an evening of fun and fellowship as dads and daughters grow together. |

Easter is offering a new healing ministry for people who are going through or have gone through a divorce.

Divorce Care groups meet weekly to help you face these challenges and move toward rebuilding your life. The group will be led by seasoned group leaders and will be a safe place for support and sharing. The cost is $15 for materials. For more information, indicate your interest on the pink Response Sheet or contact Pastor Kristen Capel or Pastor Kevin Olson at 651-452-3680. |
