Important Dates to Remember
January 23,2022
About the Cover: As Jesus unrolled the scroll of Isaiah to read, those gathered saw the fulfillment of Scripture right before their eyes. The Spirit is upon Him – the Spirit who descended upon Him in His Baptism, drove Him out into the wilderness, and worked through His mission to lift up the poor, captive, blind, and oppressed. This is the year of the Lord’s favor. In Christ, we stand in an eternity of the Lord’s favor, for He has died and risen to lift us up, heal us, and set us free from sin and death. © 2022 CPH Photo: © GoodSalt.com

Since the Sacrament of Communion is administered to those instructed and examined in the Faith as Confessional Lutherans understand it, you will receive a verbal blessing unless you speak with Pastor beforehand.

Stewardship Thought – John 2:3 – “When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, ‘They have no wine.’” Behold the faith of Mary. She sees a problem and simply lays it before her Son and Lord, saying, “They have no wine.” She does not offer a proposed solution, and she does not demand. She simply states her need and waits for the Lord’s response. She trusts that the Lord is a giver, and she knows that He always provides. May such a faith be ours!
