Church Notes for June 28, 2026

 

“Whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.” – Matthew 10:38 As followers of Christ, we take up our cross and offer our lives in sacrificial service and faithful stewardship. 

 

WELCOME, GARY THIES, Mission Development Counselor for The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod. He will be giving an interesting and exciting presentation on what is happening in the Mission Field around the world during Lutheran ½ Hour following service today. 

 

THANK YOU to my Christian family for all your prayers, memorials and love in this time of sorrow with the loss of my husband, our father, brother and friend. Love, Connie Carstens

Building Healthy Families: Many years ago, our Lutheran ancestors left behind the familiar and came seeking religious freedom in a new land. We celebrate that freedom this week, even as we recognize growing challenges to our religious liberty. Join us in praying for our leaders, both in government and in our LCMS church. May God strengthen them to boldly speak and act in ways that secure our freedom not just to have faith, but to live out that faith in the public square. Your prayers for the staff and leadership of Lutheran Family Service as they proclaim, teach, and live out God’s good plan for life, marriage and family are also appreciated. Happy 250th birthday, America! www.LutheranFamilyService.orgLutheran Family Service

AUGUST SIGN UP SHEET: If there are any Sundays in August that you will not be available to volunteer for church services, please write your name on those week(s), or send Linda a note.  Thank You!
