As Is: A Summer Preaching Series

The worship staff has designed a summer preaching series loosely based on the Peder Eide song “As Is.” Each week, we will take a closer look at one Bible character that was either labeled as imperfect or used an excuse to not be a part of God’s plan for them. We will focus on God choosing us and using us, exactly the way we are, to do great things in the world.

June is Soap Month We are collecting soap for Lutheran World Relief. LWR accepts new bars of any brand soap, in its original wrapping. All bar sizes are accepted; however, bath-size bars and Fels-Naptha are highly preferred. Please place soap in the bin in the Narthex. All soap is sent on the LWR truck.
