Happy New Year. Here's to many blessings in the year to come. I would like to thank everyone who purchased items for the Justa Center. I hope you are aware of what a blessing this will be for someone in need.
 
This year, Covid ran rampant across the country, and some of us lost friends or family members to it. The faith we have in God, however, has never been shaken. If we lose that, all of us will suffer. Let us keep the faith, spread the word and be that person who helps someone in need, because it is not all about material things, sometimes it is a shoulder to lean on or an ear to listen, or the simple act of telling someone they matter, appreciated and loved. Sometimes a hug says it all. In 2022, let's make a difference, let's make everyone matter.

 God Bless

Now is the time!             
 
The ELCA National Youth Gathering is being held in Minneapolis, Minnesota   
on July 23-28, 2022
 
Every three years, 30,000 high school youth and their adult leaders from across the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America gather for a week of faith formation known as the ELCA Youth Gathering. We are currently registering our youth and will let you know how many will be participating! Cost per participant will be about $1400.  In the next months we will be having a number of fund-raising events to help offset the cost for each family. 
 
  If you would like to sponsor a child or make a donation please see Pastor Tony or place the gift in the offering plate. Thank You for your support! 

Each Sunday the youth are continuing to sell collectibles at a table in the narthex. The funds collected from this drive goes toward the cost of each youth attending the National Youth Gathering in July of 2022. Come and support the YOUTH of your church!   Thank You!

 Church Narthex from 1:00pm -3:00pm
