Catfish & Catechism
Tuesday June 23, 2009
We met at the church at 6:00 pm and carpooled to the St Louis River for a fun evening of fellowship & fishing. A few venison brats were also roasted over a fire and eaten! Our Catechism lesson - God Our Maker was a discussion centered around the first article of The Apostles’ Creed, “I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth”. And we even caught some fish.
ANNUAL ICE FISHING TRIP
FEB 18-21, 2010
The group was truly blessed again with a great retreat filled with fine fellowship, sunny days, bible study with time of prayer, and some fantastic fishing.
This year the group spent some time studying Jeremiah 1: 4 - 19 "Jeremiah's Call & Commission" through a series of four sessions which examined the passage from a devotional, historical, literary, and Lutheran theological perspective.
Total catch: 8 Lake Trout and 5 Brook Trout. We may have fallen short of totals from years past, but we definitely couldn't complain about the mild weather and had enough fish for the Saturday night fish boil!
IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT FISH EITHER........
VENISON BRAT MAKING - April 21, 2009
Seven more Fishers gathered in the church kitchen on Tuesday April 21, 2009 for the second session of venison and elk sausage making for 2009. The group made 118 lbs of regular bratwurst, cheese bratwurst, and hot Italian sausage. As usual, everyone enjoyed making their own sausage and of course eating samples of each type.
