STORM AID MISSION PROJECT – We will begin collecting money for the people of North Carolina. Since the flooding caused by the hurricane last year, recent wildfires, and more flooding, they need help. We have two contacts that can directly get the money where it is most needed. Many people are still displaced from last year’s horrible floods. Please give generously to help

2025 YEARLONG MISSION PROJECTS – Lutheran Bible Translators donations help extend the Bible to unreached people around the globe and may be given designated to LBT in the general offering. LBT is an NALC partner, currently working in 70+ language communities in Bible translation programs.

The Mission Team has also chosen PreBorn! as one of our year-long mission opportunities for 2025. PreBorn! leads and equips Pregnancy Clinics to reach abortion-minded women by sharing the gospel and saving babies from abortion in regions with the highest abortion rates. They provide all services for free to women who come to the Clinics. Pre-Born has demonstrated that after abortion-minded women see an ultrasound, the chances of them choosing to continue their pregnancy increases from 40% to 80%. All that PreBorn! does is motivated by a desire to see the gospel of Jesus Christ advanced and God glorified. Donations may be given in the offering plate indicating PreBorn on your check or offering envelope.

Pastor's Patter

O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth. (Psalm 8:1)

        God, we stand in awe of Your creation – singing birds, sparkling stars, artful webs spun by spiders, flowers bursting from buds to blossoms, trees changing colors and shedding their leaves, the moon – predictable yet ever-changing, sunrises, sunsets, and double rainbows. We marvel at babies that coo, the vitality of youth, the wisdom of the aged, the love of families, the concern of communities, the warmth of our church, the promise of our faith, the sacrifice of Christ, the power of the Holy Spirit, Your Grace.

       O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth. Amen.
