Children's Sermon Continues for 2019
The Children's Sermon during worship will continue in 2019. This will be a special time for all children to come forward and participate in our worship service by listening to a message just for them in addition to our regular Sermon.
Go to the people of all nations and make them my disciples. Baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and teach them to do everything I have told you. I will be with you always, even until the end of the earth.

Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane
Our altar window above
"Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go over there and pray.” And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled. Then he said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and watch with me.” And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.” And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter, “So, could you not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Again, for the second time, he went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done.” And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. So, leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same words again. Then he came to the disciples and said to them, “Sleep and take your rest later on. See, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand."
Matthew 26:36-56

US Tornadoes
On March 3rd, powerful tornados hit Alabama, Georgia and Florida, causing widespread destruction. At least 23 people have died in Lee County Alabama and others are still unaccounted for. More than 1,000 homes have been damaged, and thousands of people have lost power.
Lutheran Disaster Response is working with those in the impacted state, including partnering with the congregations in the Southeastern Synod to respond with immediate relief. A gift to Lutheran Disaster Response designated for “US Tornados” will be used to help those affected by tornadoes until the response is complete. Together, we can provide immediate and long-lasting support.
Please give today. Give through your congregation or make out a check to Lutheran Disaster Response and send to: Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, ELCA Gift Processing Center PO Box 1809, Merrifield, VA 22116-8009 and write on the memo line “US Tornados DDG0020” or “Where needed Most DDG0010”
