Ways to Improve Your Facebook Live Experience! After our survey, we noticed that a good amount of partners have had some issue or another when trying to livestream on Sunday Morning!

Physically Distanced, Masked Annual Food Packing Planned Sunday, September 20th from 9 am - 1 pm We are planning to do our annual meal packing again this year despite COVID 19.

We can run the lines with a minimum of 6 people and as many as 10. We plan on assigning "family" g ..read more

A Message from Pastor Lisa: Love Overcomes Fear

Love Overcomes Fear A couple days ago I read a message from Richard Rohr and the Center for Action and Contemplation that really touched me. He started by acknowledging how much the world has changed in just these last few weeks. That's for sure! Our routines are disrupted. We are working from home--or NOT working--and worrying about where income is going to come from. OR, we worry how our retirement savings will stretch to cover our needs in our post-working years. We shop differently, exercise differently, socialize differently. We certainly clean and sanitize ourselves and every surfac ..read more

What's your story? -- The Gift of Giving Your Testimony In the Lutheran tradition, we don’t use the word, “testimony,” often. One reason for this might be that we don’t leave a lot of room in traditional Lutheran settings to give testimonials, or publicly tell our faith stories. Or maybe it’s because this word has taken on a specific meaning in the wider church. The idea of giving one’s testimony possibly evokes memories of forced alter calls, or obligatory sharing that could have made you uncomfortable. I pray that's not the case. My hope is that we can reclaim this word together to enrich o ..read more

Be Kind A family of four were heading out to dinner to celebrate their Dad, Joe’s, birthday. Because it was his birthday, he got to choose the restaurant. He picked his favorite little restaurant with, what he thought, was the best burger in the area. Giddy and ready to go, the family piled in the car and headed out. Upon arriving at the restaurant, there was little parking available. They ended up having to park quite a ways down the street and walk. It started sprinkling, so they swiftly entered the restaurant where they were greeted with a smile. The host told them it would be a thirty ..read more

Our "Good Friday" Moments The sun is setting. The sanctuary is lit with candles held in the hands of teary-eyed people singing together. “Were you there when they crucified my Lord?” rings throughout the building. I hear sniffles as we switch the verses to “Were you there when they nailed him to the tree.” And “Laid him in the tomb.” These words permeate our hearts; remembering Christ’s death at the hands of hate and fear. Yet Christ loved us through it all. I know what you’re thinking, “Kate, it’s after Easter, why are we talking about Good Friday?” You’re right, we have heard the good news ..read more

Dirty Foreheads About five years ago a man stopped me in the grocery store. He said, “Excuse me, miss, but you have dirt on your forehead. Just wanted to let you know.” I paused for a second wondering how to respond. Should I just say thank you? Should I tell him that I know and it’s for Ash Wednesday? I didn’t want to make him feel foolish for telling me because if I really had dirt on my forehead, I’d want to know! So, I thanked him and said that it was a special religious holiday and although it might look like a blob of dirt now, it’s supposed to be a cross of ashes. He looked puzzled ..read more
