Hope for Tomorrow; Strength for Today 8-Week Revelation Series

Back by popular request, Abiding Christ invites you to an extended Revelation Study Series. Starting September 9th through October 28th, the Wednesday Night Worship service will include readings and messages on the Book of Revelation with group Bible Study to follow. The community meal begins at 6pm, Worship with Holy Communion at 6:15pm, and additional study begins at 7pm and ends at 7:45pm. We look forward to exploring the Hope for Tomorrow and Strength for Today offered to us as we follow and worship the Lamb of God together!

Midweek Pause

"Every Wednesday from 12:15 to 12:45, folks from across the Lutheran Saints in Ministry Collaborative are invited to gather over Zoom for Midweek Pause. During this time, we will hear the Word of God and have time set aside to sit, be, and be grounded in God's love and grace for us today. This time is intended to be a gift shared in community, reminding you that you are not alone and that there are others who appreciate such grounding and meaningful quiet time too. Please feel free to sign up at this link to be added to the email list for the weekly Zoom Midweek Pause."

GREETING CARDS

Weddings, anniversaries, baby showers, thank you, thinking of you, get well, bridal shower ... need a card, we have lots!! If you don't see something that you need, ask me about it because we have some that are not out because we don't have room for every occasion. Always remember when you give us a card to remake, please give us the whole card and not just the front. Thank you.
