- By Pastor Jason Cunningham, First Presbyterian Church, LuverneMarch 03, 2020(Read Luke 14:1-24) For many people meal times are the best times of the day. Food is a big part of life. According to Luke, food plays a major role in the life and teachings of Jesus. One-fifth of the sentences in Luke’s Gospel are connected in some way to eating a meal.

- By Rev. Andrew Palmquist, Bethany Lutheran Church, LuverneFebruary 18, 2020In large earth-moving equipment, like dump trucks and loaders, there is often a magnet in the transmission. The purpose of this magnet is to catch the metal filings that wear off the gears in the transmission. If those little pieces of metal were to stay in the fluid, they would cause greater wear on the gears. The magnet helps keep the transmission fluid clean by drawing the “dirty metal filings…
