Guiding Principles Live as disciples of Christ. Be a safe place to disagree, finding unity in Christ. Value Christ-centered worship. Focus on the “we” and not the “me”. Celebrate the grace of God who gives us 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th…….chances. Embrace God’s transformative power. Feed all who hunger and thirst in our community and beyond. Strive to welcome and show God’s love for all.

The well-known hymn “Now thank we all our God” has a background story to make even 2020 seem like a really easy year. Check it out and let us all sing Thanksgiving for our God!

STORY BEHIND THE SONG: Pastor gives praise, thanks during darkest of times

“Now thank we all our God, With heart and hands and voices, Who wondrous things hath done, In whom his world rejoices; Who from our mother's arms

Mask up, maintain at least 6foot distance from others, wash your hands and stay home when you can. We are tired and afraid, bored and lonely...but we can do this together! Praying for our county and our world.

Reminder we will NOT be having our in-sanctuary 10:30am service as we continue to see these numbers go up. (We WILL have our drive-in style service at 9am!!) We will also be suspending ALL in-person, in-building gatherings sponsored by the church for the time being. Council will meet this Thursday via zoom and we will discuss other restrictions.

All people entering the building, masks are required.

The plain fact: some folks have been old as can be and had all of the risk factors and lived through covid. Some folks are otherwise young and healthy and have died on a ventilator. We don't know the long term effects of this illness. We DO know the cost of it spreading: loss of health, loss of life, lost connections, postponed events, closed stores and restaurants, people losing jobs, health care workers and our whole system taxed to breaking.

All we have right now is prevention. Wear a mask, wash your hands, practice physical distancing, and limit contact. Other generations have sacrificed far more... WE CAN DO IT!

Due to the increase in community spread of stinkin'-jerk-face-joy-robbing-COVID...we will be suspending our 10:30am in-sanctuary service for the time being.

Bring your warm drinks, fuzzy socks, blankets, and communion elements to our 9am Drive-in style service. You might even get to see Pastor Kelly do some singin' in the rain this weekend!

Today is Veterans Day. We remember and give thanks for the service and personal sacrifice of all who have served our nation in times of peace and war. We pray for those currently serving in the military and for their families, especially during times of separation, that they will know they are remembered, valued and cared for by their faith community and siblings in Christ. — ELCA Prayer Ventures
