What's New?
  • Check out our new link to By The Way, a wonderful and uplifting thought for the day, produced by The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod's KFUO Radio, St. Louis, MO. By The Way features the friendly and encouraging voice of Paul (Rev. Dr. Paul Devantier, a speaker on the radio program for more than 32 years).

  • Lutheran Hour: For Sunday, March 7th: Speaker: Rev. Dr. Ken Klaus "Does God love you?" (Luke 13:4-5) "Does God love you? It's easy to think so when times are good. But what about when problems pile up, difficulties descend, and miseries multiply?"
  • Lutheran Hour: For Sunday, March 14th: Speaker: Rev. Dr. Ken Klaus "The Sinners Friend" (Luke 15:1-2) "Throughout His earthly ministry, Jesus proved Himself the Friend of Sinners. He reached out to those who needed him most."
  • Lutheran Hour: For Sunday, March 21st: Speaker: Rev. Dr. Ken Klaus "Only the Essentials" (Philippians 3:8) "What is the cost of discipleship? Anything we lose now will be more than covered when we receive the great prize Christ won for us."
  • Lutheran Hour: For Sunday, March 28th: Guest Speaker: Rev. Wayne Palmer "The Crucified Christ: Victim or Victor" (Luke 22-23) "Christ is risen!" "He is risen indeed!" In seven days this powerful proclamation will echo back and forth through Christian churches all around the world. Jesus Christ, the mighty Son of God is alive- He crushed all our enemies, rose from the dead, and has promised to return again."

Announcements

*** Join Us Each Sunday for Sunday School at 9:00 AM! All are Welcome.

*** Worship Practice During Lent:
1.   From Ash Wednesday on, the use of the organ is restricted to support for the singing of the
      congregation.
2.   Flowers are not placed in the chancel during Lent.
3.   The color for the season is purple, suggesting solemnity.
4.   It is a good time to encourage use of the sign of the Cross at the Invocation.
5.   The "Alleluia" is omitted. Its absence makes us more consious of our Lord's loss on our behalf.
6.   The "Hymn of Praise" is omitted.
During the most solemn times of the year the church hold to an older way of doing things. The absence of the "Hymn of Praise" reflects earlier times when the hymn had not become part of the liturgy.We will observe a time of silence in its absence.

*** Midweek Lenten Worship Servicescontinue this Wednesday, March 10th at 7:00 PM. The overall theme for our Lenten Midweek Worship is "Words of Life from the Cross." This week's theme is "The Compassionate Word" from John 19:26-27. Set aside time this Wednesday to be in God's house with His people receiving His good gifts. Invite a friend to join you!

*** Lenten Midweek Mealswill begin Wednesday, March 10th at 6:00 PM. Families are asked to join together and provide a meal during Lent. A sign up sheet is on the table in the Fellowshop Hall. All are welcome to join us for this time of food and fellowship.
