CrossWind Lutheran Parish, Starbuck, will begin “Discovering our Future in Mission: SKOL!” on Wednesday, Feb. 5, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. in the Fron Lutheran Church Fellowship Hall. All members and friends of our congregations and the parish, especially confirmation students and other youth are encouraged to attend. 

This event is the first step in a process which will lead to the parish welcoming its next settled pastor. The study process will take a look at the current status and future direction of our shared mission. We will be led by our consultant, Pastor Stephen Cook. 

“This event kicks off the study process. We will look at where we can hope our congregations will be in 5-10 years, what is working well now, and what 3-5 key questions to explore as we think about the gifts in CrossWind’s next settled pastor.”

Pastor Steve is working with a six member Mission Assessment Team to complete the study in the coming months. 

“I am hopeful for the mission of our parish and congregations in our community,” says CrossWind Parish President Kelly Erickson. “This planning work will help us focus on our potential.” 

This event will take place at Fron Church located at 605 Hagenson St, Starbuck, MN. Snacks will be available starting at 6 p.m. and the event will finish before 8 p.m. 

CrossWind Lutheran Parish is a collaboration of three congregations in the Starbuck area: Fron Lutheran Church, Immanuel Lutheran Church and Indherred Lutheran Church.
