Great Chapters of the Bible is the theme of our Adult Bible Class, which has returned to our schedule by popular request during our Sunday School hour. We are following the Sunday School schedule of Old Testament Bible History accounts. All confirmed members of the congregation are welcome to attend.
A new sign has been obtained from Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Phillips, who are moving to a new location where they don’t need their old sign. It’s a lighted sign that faces both ways, so we will install it along the highway to replace the current temporary sign.
Electronic Offerings may be made by filling out a form from Partners Bank. You may designate an amount to be transferred as often as you'd like: monthly, weekly, every other week, twice a month, etc. Ask Pastor for a copy of the form.
Altar and Cleaning Volunteers for 2023 are needed and appreciated! Please sign up on the lists on the bulletin board in our kitchen. Our Ladies’ Aid organizes the schedule, but you don’t have to be a member of the Ladies’ Aid (nor even a lady!) to volunteer.
