A Morning Prayer Thank you, dear Savior, for nourishing my faith with the Sacrament of your body and blood. Lift my heart with your forgiveness, renew my confidence in your grace, empower my love for others, and lead me to long for the eternal banquet of heaven. Amen
Sunday School & Bible Study continues this week with adults meeting in the church basement and children in the school at 9:10am. For our Sunday Morning Bible Class, we will be studying the same lessons as the children are studying in Sunday School, but with adult study questions. This is a great opportunity to review the basic Bible stories and see their applications to our lives of faith. This week’s story is: The King’s Table – Mephibosheth. Next Sunday’s story: A divided kingdom – Jeroboam & Rehoboam. Please make plans to join us!
Monday/Wednesday Bible Class will be meeting again this week to continue discussing the study of the Catechism with The Apostles’ Creed. Please make plans to join us!
