Thank You for sharing this time of worship with us.  We're glad you're here!  Please sign the Friendship Register. Do come again!  If you do not have a local church home, we invite you to make your home with us.  Here you will find Christian love, opportunities for spiritual growth, warm friendships, and a feeling of being part of the family of God.

 

 

The Offering And The Friendship Register: The members of Mt. Olive congregation have joined together to do the Lord's work in this city and around the world.  Visitors, please do not feel obligated to participate in this offering that supports our church's ministry. During the gathering of the offering, however, we kindly ask each person to fill out the friendship register that is located at the end of your bench.  Please use this time also to greet those sitting near you.  Thanks!

Today Is Christian Education Sunday at Mt. Olive!  We thank Pastor Aaron Robinson from St. Croix Lutheran High School for leading us in worship, and the SCLHS Croixaliers for offering up to the Lord their special service titled “God Is – I Am.”  Following our worship service, Mr. Jim Pasbrig will lead the Adult Education Hour, sharing with us the challenges and blessings of Christian education in the home and throughout life.  Then comes a delicious, tasty, mouth-watering potluck dinner!  All are invited to stay and enjoy Christian fellowship and a wonderful meal!  After the meal, you’ll hear “Start your engines,” signaling the beginning of our 7th annual Mt. Olive Minute Pinewood Derby Race.  Enjoy the day!

 

 

A Door Offering will be received at the close of this morning’s worship service to help fund the ministry of the Croixaliers.  Thank you for your support!

 

 

Ann Zibell Will Be 100 years old on April 3rd.  Her family is hosting an open house for her this afternoon from 2:00 to 4:00pm at Lyngblomsten Care Center, 3rd floor north dining room.  Members of Mt. Olive and friends are invited to greet her or send a card.  Ann is Mt. Olive’s oldest living member.  Our altar flowers this morning are in honor of Ann’s birthday!  Thank you!  Happy Birthday, Ann!

 

 

Also This Afternoon, St. Croix Lutheran High School will be having their annual Lenten Easter Concert at 3:00pm and again at 7:00pm.  From 5:00 to 6:30pm, you are invited at a spaghetti supper at the school.  An open house is also being held from 2:30 to 4:30pm and you may tour the facilities and meet the teachers.  All welcome!

 

 

“Time Of Grace” has moved!  Beginning today, April 1st, “Time of Grace” has moved from 6:30am on channel 9 to 9:00am on channel 23.  This is a much better time slot to reach those folks who may not have a church home or who may be searching for a more meaningful relationship with the Lord but are not yet ready to step into a church building.  Continue to pray for this wonderful ministry!

 

 

This Is Holy Week!  Maundy Thursday and Good Friday services are at 7:00pm.  Easter Sunday begins with an Easter Breakfast at 7:30am served by our Sunday School children and their parents.  Our Resurrection Festival service begins at 9:00am.  Bring family and friends!

 

Camp Croix Registration Forms are now available in the church office.  We have camper registration forms and staff registration forms.  Summer camp is only four months away!

 

Thank You to all who made St. Croix's Annual Auction, "Puttin' on the Glitz" a success!  Tuition assistance and the operating budget benefited by approximately $40,000.  Over 150 volunteers gave of their time and hundreds more made donations.  Thank you donors, volunteers, bidders, and supporters.  You make good things happen!  Thank you for your caring and support.
