We have winter–yes we do!
We have winter–how ’bout you?
Oh, it’s goin’ to be a long winter;
Oh, what wil da birdies do den…?!
Here are some scenes of the long winter we’ve had in Minnesota this year.
As I write, there is still snow on the ground from the lastest storm.
Eight team members and two coaches donned green shirts for more than St. Patrick’s Day on Saturday, March 17th. The green polo is the official uniform of the Kandiyohi County Horse Bowl Team, which gathered in Hutchison, MN to compete in Regionals. This year the Kandiyohi County Horse Project sent one junior team, composed of Dylan (third year), Tasha (second year), Matthew (first year) , and MaQuelah (first year).
Winter returns to Minnesota…again…and again… again! After a relatively mild season thus far, residents of the North Star State were treated(?!) to a winter’s worth of “weather” in a weekend. Even Sunday worship (February 25th) was canceled as the the roads were not yet plowed out.
This just in:
Some of you may have seen it already, but Willmar, Minnesota was featured at 5:30 tonight (Wednesday) on immigration during the NBC nightly news. At the very beginning of the feature, you can see our pastor’s wife playing guitar. You can read the article or view the video here.
We will try to keep you updated more often so that the posts aren’t always long.
God bless and Merry Christmas for now!
The Kraemer Family Singers had the privilege of being a part of a wonderful evening testifying to the mighty redemptive power of God’s love. We were asked to prepare two musical selections for Hope Pregnancy Center’s Fundraiser Banquet, hosted at the Holiday Inn of Willmar, MN last Thursday (September 21st). The featured speaker was Ryan Dobson (Dr. James Dobson’s son) who spoke on the dangers of tolerating things that are “just plain stupid,” and the need for truth to shine forth. He also expressed thanks to all the moms who go through the pains of a pregnancy and then give their child up to a waiting family. HE was the son of one such mom, who delivered her son into the hands of Jim and Shirley Dobson!
A highlight for us was the client testimony from a gal that we personally know from the farms. It was touching how through her courageous testimony God brought honor and glory to Himself from one of the lowest points of her young life. Isn’t that just like Him?! 
Our songs wrapped up the program, with Abigail and younger siblings singing a treble arrangement of Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the Womb.” Christopher began and ended the song with a touching solo. We finished with the whole family boldly singing Psalm 16, “For You Are My God,” with Joshua accompanying on the piano. (He, John, & Abigail also supplied the dinner guests with an hour and a half of background piano music earlier in the evening.)
It was a new experience for us, and the smaller fry that had to wait all night for their turn to sing were very well behaved!
To God be the glory—Great things He hath done!
