2026 LLC Summer Services
Monticello, Minnesota

Hosted by the Menahga and Brainerd congregations at Silver Springs.
Welcome to 2026 LLC Summer Services!
Summer Services will be held at Silver Springs in Monticello, Minnesota, July 2–5, 2026. Menahga and Brainerd serve as host congregations this year. Our motto for the services is “That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you” (1 John 1:3).
Services will begin at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday and conclude at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday.
We welcome willing helpers from all North American congregations to sign up for work shifts. SignUpGenius will be our primary forum for organizing help; additional information will be shared soon.
We ask for your prayers that God would bless the planning and preparation for these festive services. On behalf of the Summer Services Planning Committee, I extend a warm welcome to everyone!
