April 16 Weekly News

PLEASE NOTE that we will have NO Wednesday evening worship this week, April 19.

ADULT BIBLE STUDY:  Who are the Mormons?  What do they believe?  How do we talk to them and share the message of Jesus?  Beginning next Sunday, Pastor Whitmore will be leading a study that will focus on these questions and more.  This study is based on a video series that was put out by the Lutheran Hour.  Everyone is welcome!
