Face masks and social distancing are required in our church building. We encourage all congregation members to attend the meeting and the Church Council and Call Committee will do their best to provide a safe environment during this pandemic.

Memories of Mine
A tribute to our area's mining history is going to be built near United's parking lot retaining wall. As many of you know, the boulders in the retaining wall are from the Old Bristol Mine area. Therefore we are offering the opportunity for folks to make a donation to have a plaque attached to one of the boulders in memory of loved ones who once worked or were affected by the mining industry. We are asking for donations of $100 - $400, depending on the size of the boulder you would like. Print the following form and mail it along with a check made out to United Lutheran Church: Memories of Mine form
