Our thanks to Rev. Dr. Chris Alexander for presiding and preaching at our worship service today. Pr. Becky is on vacation this week.

It’s time to begin thinking and organizing activities In anticipation of this milestone year.

It will take a number of people to coordinate, organize, provide input, serve, and celebrate. If you are interested in being on the initial planning team for this event, please contact Pastor Becky, Brian Lund, or Tom Olson.

The Nebraska Women of the ELCA Metro Spring Gathering is happening virtually on March 20. View the program. For any questions, contact Gwen Edwards.

We continue to provide regular worship via livestream or recording through our Worship Video page, Facebook page, and YouTube channel. 

Our Lenten theme, “The Gifts of Discipleship,” is an offering that comes to us from the Nebraska Synod. Each week, we will explore a line from the public affirmation of faith that a baptized Child of God makes in claiming the faith in which they were baptized as their own (we often call this confirmation). The intentions of discipleship that they are asked to affirm is the following: Do you intend to continue in the covenant God made with you in holy baptism:

RESPONSE: I do, and I ask God to help and guide me. (ELW, p. 236)

Our Midweek Lenten services will be at 7 p.m on Wednesdays leading up to Holy Week. This service will be offered in-person and be livestreamed and recorded at the same time. Each week, we will hear from a different voice from around the Nebraska Synod who will speak about how living out these marks of discipleship are a gift to us and others. These sermons will be pre-recorded video that will be put into the Evening Prayer (Compline) service. Please complete the worship reservation form to attend in person.

If you wanted a "Lent in a Bag" or communion kits, but somehow communication wires got crossed, please call the office and let us know. Thank you.
