Sunday Bible Study, "The Chosen"
Resumes Nov. 2, at 6:00 pm
in the Fellowship Lounge.
(we skip Oct. 26, Concordia Organ Concert)
We continue the second season of "The Chosen," which features the struggles of the disciples to come together as both a community & a team in support of Jesus's ministry. There will be a brief, informal discussion following our viewing of season 2, episode 4, "The Perfect Opportunity." As Jesus & the disciples head to Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles, a new enemy follows them, while a familiar enemy awaits.

This month we’re celebrating Thrivers & Survivors of Breast Cancer in our community. We also remember those who have succumbed to this disease. Please write their names on pink hearts on the Narthex window wall. Plus, show your support by wearing pink for worship services during October Sundays.
Lutheran Disaster Response shares God's hope, healing and renewal with people whose lives have been disrupted by disasters in the United States and around the world. When the dust settles and the headlines change, we stay to provide ongoing assistance to those in need.
ELCA World Hunger is this church’s ministry to end hunger and poverty. Please give now and you can be part of the response as we work creatively and courageously in over 60 countries toward a just world where all are fed.
Your donation will be used where it is needed most within the wider category of each gift you’ve selected. (For example, a gift of vaccinations may be used to support other health care initiatives.)
This allows our church to stay adaptive, flexible and effective in the work that we do. Because we seek to honor your generosity and keep administrative costs low, we do not track individual financial gifts to specific families or locations in the U.S. or abroad.
