The Session feels confident that we can make that difference up throughout the year. The Third Space board has also approved the Third Space budget for 2026. Each document is linked below! Please reach out to Jason Ciesolka (LVPC) or Karen Hanner (Third Space) with any questions.

"The Virgen urging us to stop UNJUST arrests of immigrants."

by Christian Faltis

Friends, as we turn to the angel's visit to Mary in Scripture this week, I am drawn to this recent painting by Christian Faltis. The angel visits Mary, Mary visits Elizabeth, and then she sings a song of praise and prophecy. Her words still cry out to us today.

Join the choir after coffee hour this Sunday for some caroling on the church steps!

Help beautify the sanctuary for Advent!
