Through contributions in your monthly mission envelopes, we are able to reach out and support different missions on a local, national, and international level. Our mission envelopes for April will be donated to the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod’s “Life Ministries”. This is a ministry actively involved in promoting the sanctity of human life through the funding of crisis pregnancy centers, providing education to promote teen abstinence, and working with other Christian pro-life groups to encourage life “in the image of God”. If your prayers move you to support “Life Ministries”, please place your mission envelope for April in the offering on any Sunday during the month.
