Program 

Walk on Water Ministries was organized at the end of 2008. Mark Malan with his beautiful assistant Jenny Baker presented information about this new 501C. This is a non profit group who attempts to bring Christian family entertainment to the area. The had two well received concerts their first year. Mark was overwhelmed by the responses through email and on Facebook to this concept and the need for the service. The artists and speakers are focused on all ages. Walk on Water is also working with fund raising for local area community groups in need. The organization is run by volunteers. The problem that faced this group was the limited seating available in the area. The maximum seems to be around a thousand people. Their goal this year is to organize a larger gathering. They have found a 160 acre area south of Brainerd. Volunteers from all over the area and out state are coming forward to help with this event which they call the Walk on Water Festival. The festival is three full days, June 17th-20th. Full event packages prices vary but run around $54 if purchased early. One day pass at the gate is $50. Check the information on their website. The festival will start on Friday evening and end with Sunday morning worship. This is a camping event but there is no electricity available. Right now over 40 Christian artists are committed. It will involve three stages, including a low key Stone House Coffee stage which will feature more local talent. There will be 10 artists per day on each stage. A dozen food vendors will be working the festival and they are advertising "food around the world". The music of the artists along with many other great buys will be feature in the merchandise tent which includes space for 80 different sections. Mark Malan stressed how blessed the group has felt since starting his project. He also feels that this will be a great benefit to the community. Mark invited everyone to attend. They are anticipating 10,000 people and hope they are prepared for a large crowd.

Thanks Pam Sachs for taking notes, Kari Satre for taking pictures, and Bonnie Cumberland for taking attendance.

Facebook
This is the link to the official Facebook page for the club. It will now be an interactive way for members to share pictures and comment on club activities. As with Walters Wacky Adventures Page--you can visit it without being a member of Facebook. Creating a Facebook account is easy and free. You can limit access to your page and just communicate with those people who are really your friends. Signing up is simple and by creating your "own" page you give yourself interactive abilities on the Brainerd Area Sertoma site. You can completely ignore your personal page if you wish. However, the profile and information pages may become THE way for us to update your data base information in the future. I am also totally available for phone consultations for people who want me to walk them through the Facebook site. For instance--Jeff Fitch has promised me by Monday you will be able to view his awesome barbecue pictures. Les Franz also took some photos at the party and maybe we can get him to join and upload those!!
