Holy Communion is served at the 8:00 on the 1st & 3rd Sundays and at the 10:30 on the 2nd & 4th Sundays. 5th Sundays have communion at both the 8:00 & 10:30.

TOMORROW!!

We invite you to partake in a divine gathering on June 8th, unveiling a glimpse of heaven itself as our diverse congregations unite to honor the Lord and rejoice in the wondrous acts of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost.

Following our worship service, we will bask in the warmth of fellowship over a shared meal. Kindly bring a dish to contribute to our communal feast.

Please note, on June 8th, there will be no services at 8:00 or 10:30, nor will there be Sunday School; instead, we shall gather for the All Nations Worship at 10:00 am.

*This service will also be livestreamed at 10:00 am.

From the Holy Comforters

The sewing season has concluded, and the Holy Comforters thank the congregation for their fabric donations. They sent 138 large quilts to Lutheran World Relief and 24 baby quilts to local support centers. Batting, funded by the November quilt sale, has nearly doubled in price, making donations crucial. Contributions can be made to the Holy Comforters, and fabric donations can be arranged through Mary Lion. Two new sewing machines were purchased with Thrivent's support, and members are encouraged to use their gift grants for more. Special thanks to the dedicated sewers who met weekly from January to May. (Mary Lion, Arla Albers, Carolynn Budd and her group of ladies in Fairfax, Sally Bustamante, Debbie Dixon, Kay Hathaway, Eileen Kwak, Darlene McCoy, Scotte McElwain, Kathy Piper, Mary Kay Powers, Hertha Schock, Julia Moon, Jean Stewart, Annika Williams, and Jo Ann Zimmerman.) New participants are welcome, regardless of sewing skills, for various tasks. Look for announcements in December for the next sewing season.

Donate Your Used Books

You will notice the big green book donation bin in the front parking lot facing Old Keene Mill. Your books will be put back into circulation and the proceeds of the sale will go to help finance the youth trips this Summer. What a great way to share those books that you have loved and bless others with them again.
