22 June 2018 – Advent Announcements

Voters Meeting: Our Voters Meeting will be this Sunday, June 24 immediately after the worship service. The meeting will include the election of Council members and Elder.

We the Church: Please join us on Sunday, July 8 after the service or on Sunday, July 15 at 9:45 a.m. to watched a video titled “We the Church: The Priesthood of All Believers.” The video, produced by Lutheran Hour Ministries, looks at how God has worked through pastors and laypeople to preserve His church during difficult times, giving us the assurance that He can do it again.

Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service (LIRS): For almost 80 years, LIRS has been a champion for refugees and migrants from around the globe. Our history reflects American Lutherans’ deep immigrant roots and passionate commitment to welcoming newcomers, especially those who are most in need. In recent months, many children have been cruelly separated from their families at the border, including 148 children that are in the care of LIRS. Immediate support is needed to help as many children as possible. If you feel moved to contribute, you can find out more info and donate here.
