Luke Nelson, Speaker on the experience of bullying and faith pulling you through
Youth Event at St. Ansgar’s Church Wed. evening, May 8th, at 6:30 pm. Luke’s story: Baalaton, MN. *Luke’s challenges began even before he was born. He suffered a stroke while still in his mother’s uterus. As a result, a significant part of his brain didn’t develop. Nurses in the hospital called him “the miracle baby” because a miscarriage was often the outcome of this kind of trauma. *The doctors told Luke’s parents that in all likelihood he would never be like other kids. However, his parent’s faith, Luke’s determination and positive attitude brought about a much different outcome. Through Luke’s hard work, perseverance and the help of others he excelled beyond natural expectations. *Luke’s freshman year in high school brought a whole new challenge, bullying. The pain of the bullying caused him to consider taking his own life. This was pain like he had never experienced before. However his faith, the values instilled in him as a child, an attitude of never giving up and an advocate who stood up for him when he was unable to stand up for himself got him through this difficult time. *The physical and emotional struggles Luke faced and overcame growing up have not only made him the man he is today but has also given him an empathy for youth going through many of the same types of issues today. *It is Luke’s passion to share his story to as many youth as possible. It is a story of faith, a story of overcoming and ultimately a story of victory! Luke believes his story will encourage others as they face their own challenges and to be the one who “stands up” for others when they are unable to stand up for themselves. An important part of Luke’s message is that it only takes one individual to save a life and that individual could be you! *Luke Nelson is the nephew of Marv and Lois Nelson of Cannon Falls. *Open invitation for the community to attend. A free will offering will be shard at the door. |

Attention Ladies! Young and Old... Save the Date... Mark Your Calendars!
May 11th has been set as the date for a women’s get together to take the place of the women’s retreat that we have had each spring for several years. This is going to be very informal, beginning at 9:00 a.m. and lasting until 3:00 p.m., right at St. Ansgar’s. You can come and go as you wish, but we’re hoping you’ll have so much fun that you’ll want to stay for the whole event. There will be no fee charged to attend, but we’re hoping everyone attending will kick in on the cost of the pizza lunch. At our last retreat, we made four fleece blankets for missions, using a cool and fun new method that Bev Lind and Lydell Reinardy taught us. There was so much interest in that project that we decided to do it again. The mission committee used Thrivent Action Team Grant money to purchase enough fleece for six blankets which we should be able to put together on this day, May 11th. With several two-minute women’s devotions sprinkled in throughout the day to stimulate meaningful conversation, good pizza from Dudley’s for lunch, and games that make us laugh until we cry, every woman of St. Ansgar’s is guaranteed to have a great time! Please come ladies!! |
