As we move into the summer season at Mount Olive, there is much to be thankful for and even more to look forward to. One of the greatest blessings for our congregation is the arrival of our new pastor, Pastor Paul Frerichs, who will officially begin serving with us full time in June.

Many of us had the opportunity to hear Pastor Paul preach on Mother’s Day, and what a wonderful message it was. His sermon was thoughtful, Christ-centered, encouraging, and filled with warmth. It gave us a glimpse of the faithful leadership and caring heart he brings to ministry. We are excited to officially welcome Pastor Paul and Debbie to Minnesota and to our Mount Olive family in the weeks ahead. As they continue their search for a new home and community, we keep them in our prayers during this important transition.

Summer at Mount Olive is always a joyful and active season. From worship and fellowship to outdoor gatherings and ministry opportunities, there are many ways for our church family to stay connected and engaged. One highlight we eagerly anticipate each year is Vacation Bible School. Martha is already hard at work preparing another amazing VBS experience for our children and families. We are incredibly grateful for the countless volunteers who help make this ministry possible and for the energy and excitement it brings to our congregation each summer.

As we look ahead, we thank God for His continued faithfulness to Mount Olive. Seasons of change also bring seasons of opportunity, and we are excited about what lies ahead for our church family. May this summer be filled with worship, service, fellowship, and the joy that comes from growing together in Christ.

In Christ,

Ben Bremer
Congregation President
