Bulletin Announcement for November 17, 2024 

Building Healthy Families: Parents, grandparents and pew buddies – looking for a way to engage your young reader (or pre-reader) in the worship service? Select a word or common theme among the readings and hymns (or common “church words” like Jesus, Lord, amen) and encourage your child to find and circle it throughout the bulletin! Similarly, they can follow along in the hymnal or screen and make tally marks on scratch paper or in a notebook when each theme or word is used. Not only can this direct their attention to a quiet activity, but it also serves to familiarize kids with the structure of a worship service and call to mind common themes in our Christian faith.

Bulletin Announcement for November 10, 2024

Building Healthy Families: Soldiers, sailors, airmen and women, and marines returning from deployment suffer major depression and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) at rates much higher than the general population. The lives of service members and their loved ones are forever changed. Who has served our country and now lives in your neighborhood or community? Notice them this week. Then engage your family in planning to show them your respect, appreciation, and love! Lutheran Family Servicewww.LutheranFamilyService.org­­­­­­

Bulletin Announcement for November 3, 2024

Building Healthy Families: The first snowfall of the year - welcomed or not - always makes a significant impact on the landscape. The brightest of white color covers all and everything is – for a brief time until the plows and cows come through – clean and beautiful. Take time to notice the new fallen snow when it comes. Let it remind you to reflect on the amazing gift of grace that is yours through Jesus: “…though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.” Isaiah 1:18 Lutheran Family Service  www.LutheranFamilyService.org.
