What's It All About?
|
What's the meaning of life? What do you think it's all about? Join us in August when our guest pastor, Tom Wilkens, explores some of the philosophical questions we ask of ourselves, our churches and our communities.
This weekend, a father and daughter explore the gospel reading of John 6:35, 41-51. Take a few minutes to read this text and consider the questions Kelly Fryer poses in her book No Experience Necessary:
1. What do you think God is doing here?
2. What do you hear God saying to you, personally?
3. What do you hear God saying to us?

Beginning Saturday, August 28th, children who have donated books to the Book Swap can "Shop the Swap" in the blue Sunday School room! They can come in before/after worship. Bring your Luther Bucks to "purchase" books! Please continue to bring in books for the Book Swap and get your "Luther Bucks" so that you can shop the swap!
September 13 - Sunday school begins
Sunday school kicks off this Sunday at 9:45am with worship services at 8:30am and 11:00am. Look for our Fall Guide coming at the end of August - it will highlight opportunities to worship, study and live out our faith together in community.
Reading Buddies
We look forward to continuing and expanding our Reading Buddies program with Hollymead Elementary School. The time commitment of about half an hour, once a week yields some amazing results! Please consider volunteering your time.
