About Us
Gods Work, Our Hands Sunday September 11, 2022
“God’s work. Our hands.” Sunday is an opportunity to celebrate
who we are as the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America —
one church, freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor.
Service activities offer an opportunity for us to explore one of
our most basic convictions as Lutherans: that all of life in Jesus Christ – every act of service, in every daily calling, in every corner of life –
flows freely from a living, daring confidence in God’s grace.
Our congregation at work!
