Now we're turning our attention towards preparing for the tour day on September 15th.  The tour will have ten flights of visitors.  The first flight will depart around 11:00.  There will be approximately 15 visitors in each flight.  We will open reservations on September 3rd.  Information on making reservations will be posted here.  You can also call the church office (651 433-2723) for more information on how to register.

Flights will depart from the fellowship hall.  As visitors wait or return from their flight a light lunch served from 11:00 to 2:30.   There will also be a display of photos and memorabilia featuring the saints.

There will be a host of volunteer opportunities!  Sign up sheets will be posted at church after Labor Day.  You can also contact Scott Walcker at 651 592-3349 or send an email to elimcemetery@gmail.com if you're interested in volunteering.  We need you!
