Mark your calendars! On August 26, we will be gathering together for a picnic and lake baptism at beautiful Lake Nokomis.  The park offers lots of recreational options including a playground for children, swimming beach, and plenty of green space for all ages to enjoy. Come as early and stay as late as you want. We will secure a picnic spot around 4 p.m., eat at 5 p.m., and hold the baptism service at 6 p.m. Church will provide the hot dogs, lemonade, and paper products, you bring a dish to share. Interested in being baptized? Get in touch with Todd Bratulich at tbratulich@1stcov.org!  Do you need a ride?  We can provide transportation from church for those who need it.  Reach out to Ashley Aamot at info@1stcov.orgor (612) 927-3101. Please note: the all church picnic takes the place of our all church meal for the month of August.
