Let’s go hiking! Salem Covenant Church invites you to enjoy a piece of God’s creation every second Saturday of the month. Everyone wanting to take part can meet at the listed location at 10:00 AM, and you may hike as little or as much as you like. The trails chosen are suitable for most ages and abilities. Any individuals willing to and/or interested in carpooling should meet at Salem Covenant at least 5 minutes before the suggested leave time to allow carpoolers to reorganize and get back on the road. We ask that you come prepared and leave pets at home.

The whole community is invited to a free dinner and party in the parking lot! This year, kids are welcome to tackle an inflatable obstacle course or have fun with other yard games!

VOLUNTEERS are needed to make this event a success! If you are willing to donate some time and effort to minister to our neighborhood, please sign up below.

Alex and Melanie Viana, missionaries to Mozambique, are visiting us this morning, and you are invited to have lunch with them as they elaborate on their ministry! If you plan to attend, please sign up below so we know how much food to make.

All Salem volunteers are invited to a dinner to appreciate all the work they do for the church! Pastor Joe will take the opportunity to discuss a vision for this ministry year so that all volunteers can be unified in heart and purpose.

New volunteers are also welcome to attend! If you are interested in joining our volunteer team, there are two additional steps we ask you to fulfull:

1. Attend the volunteer training night on September 9.
2. Attend a six-week Bible study on Wednesday nights from September 16 to October 21. This study meets in the Sanctuary at 6:00 and is led by Pastor Joe.

As we prepare for another school year at Salem, we want to ensure all our volunteers are equipped to handle their roles. Contact your team leader regarding where exactly your team will meet on this evening. If you are on multiple teams, you will have to choose which meeting to attend.

The Safety Procedures training is required for all new volunteers and for any volunteers who did not attend the training in May (or who did not take it online). Volunteers who have not taken this training yet this year will not be permitted to serve in their roles.

Each Wednesday evening during the school year, activities will be available for all ages at Salem! Our evening schedule is as follows:

Salem’s Wednesday activities generally follow the Duluth Public School District calender. If there is no school, then there are no activities at Salem that evening.

Expect a meaningful and refreshing weekend designed to help you rediscover and firmly take hold of your identity in Christ. Through four engaging sessions rooted in Philippians 3, you’ll reflect on the roles and labels you carry, release the weight of past mistakes, and learn to focus forward on who God says you are—redeemed, chosen, and His. Alongside teaching, you’ll have opportunities to grow through prayer, creative activities, service projects, and intentional community, all while enjoying rest, recreation, and connection. Whether you come feeling confident or searching, this retreat is an invitation to “press on” and walk away grounded in your true identity as a child of God.
