You are invited to our annual
Service on the Beach on
June 29th at Sarsons Beach with Faith Lutheran and Clean Vessel.
The service is at 11am followed by a potluck lunch.
Mark your calendars!
Rain or shine –
on Wednesdays we meet weekly
through June and July for Midday Prayer.
Come on out
and join us at 12:15PM
at the gazebo
in Mission Creek Regional Park
(across from Leckie Rd turn-off) for noon prayer.
We have begun with conversations around Luther’s Small Catechism, and focused specifically on the introduction and first petition of the Lords Prayer.
We will continue our talks on July 13th after worship in Luther Hall.
These conversations will be brief - depending on what depths we can mine together.
Everyone is welcome.
Grab a coffee, and bring some curiosity and a copy of the ELW with you.
If you have yet to have your photo taken, John D. , with Terra's assistance, will be taking pictures on Sunday, July 13th after worship.
Please see the sign-up sheet
for available time slots.
