(VIDEO) March 22 worship at Norway Lake Lutheran parish

Below is video of a condensed version of what was supposed to be the March 22 service. This was recorded at First Lutheran church. Worship services at Norway Lake Parish, with First Lutheran and East Norway Lake Lutheran churches of rural New London, are "on pause" at the current time.

While we are all dealing with the COVID-19 virus situation across our state, nation and globe, please continue to share the good news of God's word! Either through this video or by any other means you are able to. Fear not: God's got this!

A message from Norway Lake Parish, Pastor Wayne and the church councils, "We encourage everyone to keep reaching out to one another, including the church and Pastor Wayne, if there are ways we can support you. Please call if you're in need of prayer (320-354-4222). We will continue this online worship again next week, as well as mid-week Lenten worship. Please keep an eye to the Willmar radio COVID-19 updates and the church website. Feel free to call or e-mail me or the church office. Another gentle reminder, normally we would pass the offering plate at worship, but we are not able to do that. We know that this is a difficult financial time for everyone. Please remember that the parish operating expenses continue. You can mail a check to the parish office (address below), written to First Lutheran church or East Norway Lake Lutheran church. You can contribute through electronic funds transfer (EFT), and more information on that can be learned by calling the parish office."
