SEPTEMBER MISSION OFFERINGS:For one month only, your mission envelopes will go to our two local Lutheran Schools.

Your offering will help children hear about Christ each day, even when their families can’t afford it, by contributing to their tuition assistance fund.
Thank you for your generosity and support.
