They are unsure of dates as they are trying to pin down teachers and helpers first. If you are interested, please let Rachelle Borah know immediately. If we do not have enough helpers sign up from each church, there will be no Community VBS this year. ❖ We are working on completing the work on our Memory Garden outside the Education unit. We still have some rock to purchase and fill in the area as well as some pavers to purchase and put in the area. Riley Johnson & Payton Borah designed a bench with guidance from Bridget Twedt in Advanced Ag Metal . Sioux Corp has graciously offered to powder coated the bench so hopefully we have a bench that will weather well through the seasons. The garden is in memory of Jennifer Ellingson who dedicated her time as a Sunday School teacher all the years her boys attended, and Carter Engbarth his smile, laugh & stories of farming are so missed! We apologize for the mess that ensued during the redoing. ❖ Parents of kids that will be entering into 9th grade in 2021 or graduating in 2021 please chat with your child to see if they are interested in attending the ELCA National Youth Gathering. The Gathering will take place in Minneapolis June 30th-July 3rd. We will have a meeting about the gathering and the start of fundraising and planning in October. The expense is generally $1200.00/person. We were successful in raising nearly all the funds for each student for the last gathering. I request that your child be in regular attendance of LYO on Wednesdays, participate in worship on a regular basis as well as help with all fundraising events. ❖ Parents please consider giving your time to our Sunday School this Fall. We were unable to get enough people to commit to teaching this past year and it was not an ideal situation. My goal is always to try to get at least 2 people per class to commit so no one has to commit to every single Sunday through the Sunday School year. I am also hoping for some high school students to assist as there are a few classes that are bigger which makes for busier kiddos and an extra teacher helps keep distraction to a minimum. If you are interested in helping please contact Rachelle Borah 605-940-4496.

Committee Reports
Christian Education- The 2018 and 2019 confirmation students have received their new bibles. Walls were
painted in the junior high & senior high rooms. Beresford high school shop class has completed a memorial
bench for Jennifer Ellingson & Carter Engbarth, to be placed outside the education unit entrance; FROG
painted rocks for landscaping around the bench. It is uncertain at this time whether there will be community
VBS at the park this summer.
Music and Worship – The committee met 3/3/19. New hymns will be sung during summer worship. A
protective cloth will be purchased for the organ. The piano was tuned and the organ will be receiving repairs.
Hymns are selected through 6/2/19. The next meeting will be 6/2/19 at 8:30 am.
Properties Committee- There is a leak to the parsonage roof, which will be repaired when the weather
permits. Flowerpots will be placed outside at the entrances. The wood of the swing set is worn, so will be
sanded and stained. Broken and unsafe parts on the swing set will be replaced.
Pastor’s Report – Pastor Myrmoe and Marilyn Carlson Aronson will attend the SYNOD Assembly as voting
members. David Aronson will also attend as a guest.
Meeting was adjourned and closed with The Lord’s Prayer.
