Hales Corners, Hales Corners, WI
What a wonderful weekend in worship! Parents and their children came forward for a special moment of prayer and a backpack blessing during all services this past weekend. Hales Corners Lutheran Church and School praise God for these students and their families! In addition, new HCLS teachers were installed and all teachers were blessed. Thank you, Lord, for calling these men and women of God to teach and share the love of Jesus!
For to this end we toil and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe. 1 Timothy 4:10
