- The Sacrament of Holy Communion is celebrated in our worship services this weekend. It is our practice to serve Holy Communion to those who have been instructed in the Christian faith, who are able and willing to “examine themselves,” and who share a common faith and confession. As a congregation of the LCMS, we welcome to the Lord’s Table all who are in fellowship with our church body. If you are visiting and have questions about your participation in the Sacrament, please speak with the Elder or Pastor before the service.​​​​​
​
- As many of you know, the $125 for 125 campaign kicked off back in late 2022. We have already raised over $65,840 for capital improvements. What a blessing! If we continue towards our goal, which is for each communicant member to donate $125 a year for the next 5 years, we can still hit our $500,000 goal! These funds would help the congregation pay for capital improvements and give us another reason to celebrate in 2029! We ask that you prayerfully consider this campaign above your normal monthly offerings. Just remember to put “125 for 125” on your offering envelope.​​​
