There is a Redeemer—Jesus, God’s own Son; Precious Lamb of God, Messiah, Holy One. Thank You, O my Father, For giving us Your Son, And leaving Your Spirit Till the work on earth is done.

Jesus, my Redeemer, Name above all names; Precious Lamb of God, Messiah, Hope for sinners slain.

When I stand in glory, I will see His face; There I’ll serve my King forever In that holy place.

THIS IS LIFE SUNDAY! The theme in our worship and Bible study will be Hope for Life. Join us!

Humanity even in suffering.

There’s still Opportunity in uncertainty.

There’s Promise Even in weakness.

There’s still Enjoyment in the unexpected.

There’s

This Sunday's Bible Study – Hope For Life – 1 Peter 3:14-22 Christians know hope. We speak hope. We show hope. We share hope. The Gospel makes us people of hope. Christ Jesus has come, was crucified, is risen, and will come again. This gives hope to every person in every circumstance. There’s humanity even in suffering. There’s still opportunity in uncertainty. There’s promise even in weakness. And there’s still enjoyment in the unexpected.

God’s Word places this hope in each human being whom He has graciously created, redeemed, and called. Wherever there’s life, there is God’s grace and Christ’s compassion. We open our mouths, our hands, and our hearts as Gospel-motivated voices for life to proclaim and perform this hope. God never gives up and neither do His people.

January 22 March for Life Concordia University St Paul will host a Chapel service on Monday, Jan. 22, beginning at 10:30am, at Graebner Memorial Chapel. Come to worship the Author and Perfecter of Life and pray that people everywhere will uphold the sanctity of human life from conception to natural death, and turn their hearts toward the children.

After chapel, the group will then travel to the Capitol Mall for the Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life (MCCL) March For Life which begins at 12:00pm south of the Capitol building. It will be followed by a brief program on the Capitol steps at 12:30.

MCCL will introduce its legislative agenda for the upcoming session during the program. Many pro-life elected officials are expected to attend the March and will be introduced to the crowd The purpose of the March is to commemorate the lives lost to abortion (and the women and men who have been hurt as a result) and to call for renewed respect and protection for all members of the human family, including unborn children and their mothers. Contact Pastor Hahn if you are interested in participating.
