Dear LCW Friends and Family,
Join us for worship on this Sunday, the Eighteenth 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.This weekend our readings cause us to pause and consider how well we listen and obey. Whose standard’s do we follow? That of men and those that we set for ourselves? Those of God that He has established for our good? 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!
- Please note the attached survey to help us discern our next steps in ministry!
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,
+ Pastor Jake +
