2023 LLC Summer Services
July 6–9, 2023
Silver Springs, Monticello, MN
1734 County Rd. 39 NE
Welcome to 2023 LLC Summer Services!
Services will be held at LLC’s Silver Springs property, adjacent to the Monticello congregation’s church site. Monticello congregation will host the services, with support from the other congregations throughout North America. The motto for these services is from Matthew 16:18: “Upon this rock I will build my church.” We ask for prayers that God would guide the planning of these services.
​
On behalf of the 2023 Summer Service Planning Committee, I extend a warm welcome! We hope to see you all there.
God’s peace, Nate Johnson
General Information
This year, there are some key schedule updates to be aware of. First, as agreed upon in the 2022 LLC Annual Meeting, the services are shifting later one week and will be held after the Fourth of July, July 6–9. Additionally, 2023 is the 50th anniversary of the LLC – we will have a special program on Saturday, July 8 to commemorate this milestone. Services will start at 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, and close at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday. Finally, with the hosting of services at the LLC property every other year, we are requesting assistance from all North American congregations in the filling of work shifts. SignUpGenius will be used and the link to volunteer can be found above.

Food service will be similar to the 2022 services. Lunch and supper menus will include a variety of grill options, pizza and salads. Meal tickets can be purchased at the meal ticket sales booth. If you pre-ordered meal tickets, please pick those up as well at the meal ticket sales booth.
