Letters from our brothers & sisters in Christ
|
This weekend the three area ELCA Lutheran congregations will have an exchange of letters during worship. The idea came from a tri-Lutheran Bible Study in which we were reading a letter from the apostle Paul to a congregation he had founded. The question was asked, "if we were to write letters to each other, what would we say?"
We will find out this weekend as representatives from St. Mark and Grace & Glory will join us in worship and read their letters to us.

PeaceFeast I
Join us this Saturday evening as we usher in our Summer Sabbath theme with a "Feast"! Bring your favorite summer foods and your lawn chairs for a time of community and outdoor games. We will offer bocce, volleyball, 4 square, and basketball. We will also have special programs for children during the evening. Children ages 6 and up will enjoy a fun summer evening with outdoor games and activities. Children 5 and under will have a special evening called "Resting in God's love" and are invited to a Teddy Bear Picnic. They are invited to bring their favorite bedtime friend and enjoy some crafts, story time and giggles.
It's turnip pickin' time!
