CHOIR NEWS
On Wednesday, September 15 at 7:15 PM the Galilee Choir will resume rehearsing the 2010 Christmas program! All are invited to join in the fun as we learn new music for fall and winter. No previous experience is required, just a desire to sing in praise to God. We are all learning new things about singing and about music every week and we welcome new members.

50th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
The theme of Galilee’s 50th Anniversary celebration is “Led by the Spirit - Walking in the Light” inspired by Micah 6:8.
A dinner and program was held on Saturday, May 1. Harpist Jann Stein performed during the dinner, which was followed by a brief program. In addition to Bishop Peter Rogness, several pastors who have served Galilee shared remarks, including Tom Schultz, John Engstrom, Richard Carlson, Michael Hanson and Ralph Baumgartner. 140 people attended the dinner. A copy of the Dinner Program is posted for you to review.
Bishop Rogness was the guest preacher during the worship service on Sunday, May 2. The Galilee Choir, including current and former members of Galilee, sang a choral piece commissioned from composer John Helgen. After the worship service, the new steeple and carillon bells was dedicated, followed by a reception.
Thanks to the 50th Anniversary Planning Committee for coordinating this special event: Sharell Babin, Pastor Ralph Baumgartner, Jo Ann French, Karen Groebner, Annette Haukebo, Lorrie Hayne, Sue & Carl Nelson, Miriam & Ron Peterson and Dan Simundson. Many other people volunteered to help during the weekend and we appreciate all of their efforts.
DAILY BREAD
This Galilee spiritual growth initiative began on May 23, 2010 and will continue through the end of the year. Join us as we grow in our faith together. More information is available on the Galilee Worship page.
MISSING TABLES
We have received several requests to borrow tables and chairs for graduations, garage sales, anniversaries, etc. We have four white plastic tables and two brown tables that may be borrowed for these outside functions.
Presently one white table and one brown table are missing. If you have borrowed any of these tables, please return them promptly so they are available for other church members to use. It is church policy not to lend out our new tables for these functions.
FIRST COMMUNION
If you know of any children who are ready to receive their first communion, please contact Pastor Ralph. According to the guidelines approved by the church council, children may receive their first communion when they desire to do so along with the approval of their parents. Both the child and at least one parent will meet with Pastor Ralph for orientation and preparation before receiving the sacrament. Please contact Pastor Ralph if you are interested or if you have any questions 651-488-6769 (church office), or 651-260-0669 (cell phone).
