| Lutheran Bishops' Report |
 Our Presiding Bishop Mark Hanson joined scores of other Lutheran Bishops -- to include our own Virginia Bishop Jim Mauney -- in an historic visit to Jordan and Israel during the height of violence in the Gaza region. Read the Report and Reflections from their journey...
Gracious God, grant peace among nations. Cleanse from our own hearts the seeds of strife: greed and envy, harsh misunderstandings and ill will, fear and desire for revenge. Make us quick to welcome ventures in cooperation among the peoples of the world, so that there may be woven the fabric of a common good too strong to be torn by the evil hands of war. In the time of opportunity, make us diligent; and in the time of peril, let not our courage fail; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Evangelical Lutheran Worship, p. 76

 Have you considered setting up electronic transfer from your checking or savings accounts through the "Simply Giving" program? It's easy, and you can do it yourself on-line. Anywhere you see "Buzz the Stewardship Bee" on our website, you can click on it and go to our Simply Giving site. In case you ever need to use it, take a look and see how easy it is to set up recurring donations from your bank accounts or credit cards. This is especially convenient for folks who travel, and are not able to join us for worship each week.
