If the Duluth weather reports say the air temperature or wind child is –20° degrees or below OR if there is a winter weather warning for an ice or snowstorm with more than 5 inches of snow expected (or if
there is a blizzard warning), Sunday worship will be cancelled. The Pastor and the Church Moderator will make the decision on whether or not to hold services by 8:00 am or before. An e-mail will be sent to all members who have provided the church with an e-mail address. (Note: we will try to collect cell phone numbers to send text messages in the future.) Members are also encouraged to call the Pastor or the Moderator after 8:30 am to see if church is cancelled due to severe weather.

(As many of you know, we cancelled the Christmas Eve service this year due to the weather forecast for –20° temps along with high winds.)

United Protestant Church Summer Concert Series invites you to the Holy Hootenanners!
Wednesday, Aug. 24, 2022 7:00 p.m.

The Holy Hootananners are a spiritual force that originated in 2013 at a small church in Mahtowa MN, pop. 370. Their music is a blend of gospel, blues, folk and spiritual genres.

Big “Thank you” to Susan Coen State Farm Insurance, for sponsoring this concert!

There is no admission fee; a good-will offering will be taken during the concert. All proceeds go to the Restore UP Church Building Fund.

This year’s Spaghetti Dinner is May 22nd and pick up only. You must buy tickets in advance.

We will be hosting four free concerts this summer, starting in June with the Singing Slovenes. We will be accepting free will donations, but you need not purchase entry.

We are now accepting gently used items for the Rummage Sale, which will be held June 16-18.

Thank you to everyone that came and celebrated our church’s centennial with us this April. We saw the removal of the cornerstone, displayed the contents of the 1921 time capsule, heard from past clergy, and enjoyed good company.
