God's people come together to observe "Good Shepherd Sunday." The 4th Sunday of Easter always has the theme of Jesus as our Good Shepherd who saved us from our sins & is ever with us, leading & guiding us day by day. The sermon is based on John 10:22-30 & is entitled: "The King of Love... Is Mine Forever!"

Divine Service, Sun., 05.01.22 (Confirmation @ 10:30 svc.)

Saul was persecuting those who belonged to "the Way" that is, he pursued Christians with the idea of destroying them. Jesus, however, converted Saul to also be a member of "the Way." In this service we consider our journey as part of Jesus' very own on our way to eternal life with Him. The sermon title is: "A Member OF 'the Way' While ON the Way" based on Acts 9:1-22. Confirmation is held during the 10:30 am service.

Divine Service, Easter 2, Sun., 04.24.22

God's people gather AGAIN around their Savior, Jesus, even though the Festival of Easter was last week! This week we see 10 of Jesus disciples in great fear in the Upper Room. It's the evening of Easter & Jesus appears to them. What a powerful moment! Will He scold them, or do something else? Great Easter hymns are sung as we receive God's Gifts to us in Word & Sacrament. The sermon title is: "Believing IS Seeing!" based on John 20:19-31.
