About the event
Service activities offer an opportunity for us to explore one of our most basic convictions as Lutherans: that all of life in Jesus Christ – every act of service, in every daily calling, in every corner of life – flows freely from a living, daring confidence in God’s grace. After our 9 am worship service, our Sunday School hour will include LWR (Lutheran World Relief) school kit assembly and some service stations for the adults ...
