SUNDAY! New Sermon Series Begins
A Living Daring Confidence is a 5-week worship series highlighting major themes of Martin Luther's theology found in the Book of Romans. The weekly themes of justification by faith, Law and Gospel, vocation and the Word are a perfect focus as we near the 500th anniversary of the Reformation and Luther's discovery of God's free gift of righteousness in Christ.

The first service in this series focuses on justification by faith as revealed in Romans 1:16-17. We pray that this service centered on Word and Sacrament will help us see, as Luther did, that we are justified by faith, not by works.
