Prayer Shawls available
Prayer Shawls have been knit, crocheted, or woven over the ages to symbolize an unconditional loving God embracing, wrapping his arms around, comforting, or hugging the person wearing it.
Do you know someone who is in need of a prayer shawl? A friend, a family member, maybe yourself. Someone undergoing a physical or emotional challenge. Someone who has experienced a personal loss or needs a tangible reminder that God continuously wraps each and every one of us in his endless love, and that there are people who care.
A Prayer Shawl can be a welcome comfort. If you know a person who would benefit from receiving a Prayer Shawl, please take on for them. They are available in the narthex or contact the office.
Nursery available
There is an opportunity for people to drop their children in the Nursery for care during worship service and fellowship time for the following Sundays: June 2, June 7 and August 4.
Global mission speaker and chili supper at Faith June 10th

Our MNO Synod has been in a global church relationship with the Lutheran Church in Cameroon since 2003.

To help us plan please RSVP to Larry Ulrich or the church office by June 6.
