In the heat of the summer, thoughts of Christmas may be far off. However, this Sunday we'll be singing our favorite Christmas carols, which were among the top picks in the congregation's survey of favorite songs. Special seasonal music will also be performed. You won't want to miss this special Christmas in August worship service!
In addition, Lutheran Social Services (LSS) now collects gifts for their Christmas party at this time of year. Please consider bringing an unwrapped new item to worship this Sunday!
