Where we are gathered to celebrate God’s love for us revealed in Jesus!
October 13, 2024 Thanksgiving Sunday
As we gather for worship
Thanksgiving Sunday is a wonderful time to remember and be grateful for all the physical blessings God gives. They truly are blessings, especially as we see so many people in our community (and around the world) who are truly struggling to survive. Thank you, Lord! But let us also remember and give thanks for the spiritual blessings we have in even greater abundance because of Jesus. In him, we feast on God’s grace, we are strengthened by his forgiveness, we look forward to our true spiritual homeland in heaven. Come, give thanks!

Fall Bible Studies
Come and grow in your faith in one—or both—of these weekly groups. Sundays, 9:00 to 9:45 AM, we’re studying “THE PSALMS.” Each week, we read and discuss one Psalm, often those that grew out of their authors’ specific life situation and speak to our needs today. Each session is “self contained,” so you do not need to attend every week.
Wednesdays, 10:00 to 11:30 AM and 6:30 to 8:00 PM—“BEING LUTHERAN.” This coming week we’re discussing chapter 6 of the book Being Lutheran. If you’d like to join us but don’t have this book, please talk to Pastor Steve. We’ll make it work!
