As a faith community we are always there for our friends and neighbors in need. On Sunday January 20th, join the Knights of Columbus and Park River Firemen for a spaghetti dinner fundraiser to support Adam and Emily Koenig.

Let’s all come out to support the Koenigs!

Millions of women in the United States have had abortions…and they regret their decision. The abortion didn’t solve the “problem”, save a relationship or preserve a career. And now, they suffer depression, anxiety, substance abuse, suicidal thought. They wonder if God can ever forgive them, believing they are the only ones in their church, family, or circle of friends to have made such a choice. Join us at 7:30 p.m. on January 21st at the Barry Auditorium on the campus of Concordia College in Moorhead to hear first-hand accounts from women in this situation--and the healing they have found in Christ.
