Welcome to our Church!  We welcome you in our Risen and Living Savior, Jesus!

A Morning Prayer Lord Jesus, you have invited me to come and receive your Holy Sacrament. I believe that in the bread and wine you give me your true body and blood to eat and drink. Forgive my sins and nourish my faith through this precious meal. I long for the comfort that comes with your promises; I yearn for the assurance of your faithful love. Bless me now as I receive you by faith.

Sunday School & Bible Class 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: A Prophet serves – Samuel.  Next Sunday’s story: A King Forever – David.  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!
