Dear LCW Friends and Family,

Join us for worship on this Sunday, the Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost. Wherever this email reaches you, know that you have a place to belong HERE, and we look forward to beginning our week together around God’s Word and Sacraments. Today, When Jacob (aka “Israel”), father of Joseph and his eleven brothers, dies Joseph’s brothers start to worry that their brother will finally take his revenge. So they send word to Joseph that Jacob’s last wishes were to make sure they and their families were taken care of, and then are surprised, yet again, by their brother’s answer. How would you respond if someone left you for dead and then went on with their life as though you were? Many of us would struggle to be as gracious as Joseph. However, the ability to show grace to others begins when God reveals the depth of HIS grace for us. Regardless of where you are, geographically or life in general, we’re glad that you can be with us from wherever you are! You have a place to belong within the fellowship of this community!

Please see the attached letter regarding current ministry updates!

SPECIAL NOTE: We are currently in search of our next musician to play piano for regular Sunday worship services. If this is a position that you are interested in, or if you know someone who would be, please contact Pastor Jake at JDickerhoff@FamiliesInChrist.org for additional information.

To better serve and meet the needs of those worshiping online please take a moment to check-in for attendance. As we continue to grow in our technological and social media fluency the Elders, the Church Council, and I are all deeply grateful for your support, patience, and insight. Thank you in advance! Blessings on your Worship!

Blessings on your Worship!

In His hands,
