Reformation Sunday will be observed this Sunday, October 25th; Confirmation will be celebrated at the 11:00 service
Rooted in the past and growing into the future, the church must always be reformed in order to live out the love of Christ in an everchanging world. We celebrate the good news of God's grace, that Jesus Christ sets us free every day to do this life transforming work. Trusting in the freedom given to us in baptism, we pray for the whole church, that Christians will unite more fully in worship and mission. (Sundays and Seasons)

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."
