Join us for
this Sunday | 9 am & 11 am
Seventh Sunday after Pentecost Pastor Mark H. Larson, preaching
The theme of the Day: God’s word is like the rain that waters the earth and brings forth vegetation It is also like the sower who scatters seed indiscriminately. Our lives are like seeds sown in the earth. Even from what appears to be little, dormant, or dead, God promises a harvest. At the Lord’s table we are fed with the bread of life, that we may bear fruit in the world.
