A look at what science tells us about creation
with reconciliation to the six days of creation
described in the first chapter of Genesis

Next Sunday Adult Forum:  Hymns - On Sunday, January 19, Pastor will lead the adult forum on the history of some hymns. If there is a particular hymn you want him to cover, speak to him after worship.

Living the Word Sunday School

This Sunday as we celebrate Baptism of the Lord, the children will learn that Jesus was baptized so that our Baptism might give us forgiveness of sins and rescue us from death and the devil.  The middle school youth will hear God's affirmation that through their baptism, they are made His beloved children. The High School youth will discuss LSSM ministries and their upcoming service projects.
