March For Life Bus St. Paul @ Cenex South Bemidji
Jan 22 @ 7:30 AM – 9:00 PM

Join thousands of pro-life Minnesotans for an unforgettable remembrance of lives lost and a compelling call to rebuild a Minnesota where every human life is valued and loved.

Chapter 45 of Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life will sponsor a bus to the state March for Life in St. Paul Wednesday, January 22nd, The theme for this year’s Walk is Love Them Both. Fetal models lost to abortion during 2023 will be on display representing the 14,000 babies at all stages of prenatal life up to and including 9 months.

The bus will depart from the Cenex gas station south of Bemidji at the junction of highways #71 and #2 at 7:30 a.m. and return the same day. Please pack a light lunch for the way down, and water will be provided. A stop for dinner in Little Falls on the way back is planned, making the return back approximately 7:30 p.m. The bus only holds 50 so it is recommended people call and reserve spots on the bus early; contact Phil Ehlke at QFM radio (218-444-1071) who is helping to facilitate the bus charter. Cost for the bus will be a free will offering.

Grygla Men’s Fellowship Supper @ Grace Lutheran Church
Jan 23 @ 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Steve and Tansy Hoppe share their family’s story – After being struck by a speeding, loaded, gravel semi truck, the family was faced with two choices: Surrender to the evil the enemy had planned, which was easily seen in medical reports showing death and disability; or to have faith in the promises of God, knowing that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. This is their story of God’s gracious mercy and the power of speaking and believing in His word.

Please come and join men of all ages as we share a meal, sing hymns, fellowship one with another and hear the amazing story of the Hoppe family. What satan meant for evil, God used for good. The two words “but God” take on a whole new meaning. Grygla Men’s Fellowship is a nondenominational gathering of men that meets the fourth Thursday of every month to encourage each other to “Stand Firm” and “fight the good fight.” Join us as we meet at Grace Lutheran Church, one block south of the American State Bank in Grygla.
