God’s Work Our Hands Sunday
On Sunday, September 9 services will be cancelled – we’ll be out serving! At 10:00 am we’ll gather for donuts, coffee, and the Lord’s Supper. Then we will be SENT to serve our community. There will be a variety of serving opportunities from which to choose. We’ll also have less physically demanding projects here at church. There will be something for everyone! More info to follow. We’ll be joining thousands of ELCA congregations who will also be serving our communities on that Sunday. Mark your calendar now! (NOTE: Saturday 5:30 pm worship will happen as usual)
