To add requests to this new list, please contact us by sending an email ([email protected]) or calling the church office (442-5367), with our thanks.

On The Lutheran Hour Next Sunday ~ Hear Lutheran Hour Speaker Rev. Dr. Michael Zeigler: “Come and See.” The Book of Nature can open your mind to the possibility that God is real. The Book of Scripture, the Bible, goes further, like a friend who’s been there (John 1:46).

+ Each of Us ~ that we may not focus first and only on ourselves, but stay connected to one another and in Christ and His constant mercy, love, and care!

And Praise God for ~

+ Friends in Christ, in Our Congregation and Beyond ~ who are there to help us in our times of need to God’s glory and our good!

+ Blessing Us to Be a Part of His Mission and Ministry ~ to bless others in Jesus’ Name with the tithes, and offerings, and gifts we can give!
