Stewardship

Philippians 1:3, 5 – “I thank my God in all my remembrance of you…because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.” God doesn’t need anything we have. Yet He invites us to give so that we can indeed become “partners in the Gospel.” This is a gift of His grace. He invites us to do significant work in the Kingdom of God through our tithes and offerings


Life Message

“When life around us is dark and despairing, when troubles are real and overwhelming, when our hurts outweigh our joys, take a moment to think about God’s beautiful creation given for us as a ‘good and perfect gift.’ Take a moment to remember that we have another Light in our world—our Lord Jesus Who is the Creator of all things and is the light of men.” Barbara Lane Geistfeld, DVM, Lutherans For Life - A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life www.lutheransforlife.org
