This service is a chance for all of us to strengthen our bonds as one Church united in faith and get to know some fellow local Lutherans better.
Sunday School Added, 9:15am: Mary Ann Moore, our RLA Preschool Teacher, will be offering a Sunday School lesson on “Christian Faith” designed for kids aged (roughly) 4-10. This will include preparing the kids to sing the Doxology together at the end of the service.
