                            May Events for High Schoolers

Keep an eye on the May calendar if you have a high schooler. There is lots happening at FELC to celebrate them this spring. 

Senior Recognition will take place during worship at 9 am on May 18th. During this service we will bless the seniors, have them receive a gift from the congregation, and send them off as they graduate. There will also be a reception for them after service.
 
Baccalaureate will take place Wednesday, May 21st at 7 pm. This service is open to all graduating seniors, their families, friends, and teachers in the Cannon Falls area. Baccalaureate is a special service set aside to give thanks to God for our graduating seniors and everyone who has helped them get to this point. So come and celebrate God’s faithfulness and your accomplishments that led to this point in your lives! Afterwards we will have bars and a reception for you.

Hello First English Lutheran Church! 
I’m Maddie Patterson and this is my third year as your Director of Children, Youth, and Family Ministry. I grew up and live on a hog farm in Kenyon, and completed my undergraduate at North Dakota State University. I have enjoyed volunteering with a church plant and in youth programs previously, and I look forward to using that experience here. In my free time I love to hang out with my family, run, and read. I’m looking forward to meeting and working with you all.
