FINK STUDENTS AND PARENTS –
Due to the COVID-19 guidelines through the CDC, the MN Department of Health and our NorthEastern MN Synod, we will be starting our FINK year online. There are 3 main steps that will make this possible.
*** FIRST and foremost…WORSHIP! At 6:00pm FINK begins with RECHARGE Worship on Facebook Live through St. Andrew’s Page. If you have not already done so, go www.saintand.org and click “Follow us on Facebook” on the right side of the home page. You can also just follow us directly on Facebook, as I’m sure most of you already do! 🙂 You will be expected to do 20 sermon notes through the course of each FINK year.
The Sermon Notes Document can be accessed by clicking HERE or from the link on the Facebook page that will appear right before service starts.
*** SECONDLY, at 6:45 after the RECHARGE service ends, FINK NITE will continue with Pastor Dave – via a Zoom meeting. The Zoom Invites will be emailed to you so it is VERY IMPORTANT that we have accurate and preferred email addresses! If you or your student have not received this invitation, please text Nikki (218-259-9129). We are not clear whether school-issued iPads and/or school related emails will allow use of Zoom, so if possible, please send us an alternative email address
*** LASTLY, following your time with Pastor Dave, you will be divided into Small Group Breakout Rooms led by your small group leader. This will happen on the the same Zoom call. You will be expected to download small group handouts for guiding your conversations (these will be provided each FINK night). There will also be 5 Home Huddle Sheets required per FINK year. These will be emailed to you to complete.
The FINK year dates will look a little different this year…Please take time to look through the calendar below. You’ll notice that during the warmer months, weather permitting, we will attempt to be on site and outside..Stay tuned!
