GPL's own RJ Perry has been selected to participate in the South Dakota Football Coaches Association All-Star Game on June 10, 2023. The game will be played at KO Stadium on the campus of Augustana University in Sioux Falls. We are excited to see RJ cap off his excellent high school football career with this honor. RJ plans to continue his football career while preparing for the teaching ministry at Martin Luther College this coming fall.

Scrip’s New Processing Procedure

In order to save on shipping costs, and to enable our Scrip volunteers to come in once a week rather than twice a week, we are implementing a new order processing procedure. In April we began processing orders on Tuesdays, with orders sent to you the following week. Please note this timing when placing your order. And thank you for using Scrip! Also, we are still in need of some volunteers for processing Scrip. If you are interested, please contact Sarah Roloff at 605-886-0672.

Professional Landscaping is scheduled to complete initial landscaping, as soon as possible this spring.

Mission Advancement Thoughts

I recently had the privilege of traveling with our Honor Choir on a weekend mini-tour. We made stops in Pierre at the State Capital, and at our churches in Rapid City, Spearfish and Mobridge. The venues and our hosts were wonderful! But what was even more amazing and encouraging was seeing and hearing these 22 young Christians singing their hearts out. I wish you all could have been there! It was simply a wonderful, heartwarming weekend of praise to our risen and living Savior.

This is the kind of thing your..............READ MORE
