Church Picnic Memorial Day Weekend Time for another Picnic! Sunday May 29. Men of Grace will provide BBQ. Bring sides and desserts to share. There will be only one worship service and that will be at 10:30 a.m. (No Sunday School or Bible Class). We’ll be in the All Saints Pavilion, weather permitting, so please dress in casual clothes. We hope to see you there! Pastor’s Adult Instruction Class goes over the basic teachings of Christianity. The class will be held May 20-21. We will meet on Friday from 6:30-8:30 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m.– 2 p.m. If you would like to be a part of this class, let Pastor know. Mormons: Who They Are, What They Believe Pastor’s Sunday morning class is still examining Mormonism. To all outward appearances, Mormons are great people. But what do they really believe about God? The Bible? Jesus? Join us for an in depth look at this topic, using materials provided by Lutheran Hour Ministries.
Please silence cell phones during Worship Service. Thank you.
