The meeting will feature Elizabeth Dorn, who will speak about the Jeremiah Program in Rochester. Jeremiah Program partners with low-income single mothers who are determined to reach their full potential. Dorn is the first development director for the program’s Rochester-Southeast Minnesota campus.
The devotional, “Just in Case There is a God,” will be shared by Janet Willis, a recently retired educator who is also a cancer survivor.

She ll tell her story of her love for life and working out whether her faith was “Just in case there is a God, I am a Christian,” or whether it was something more.
