****STEWARDSHIP SNIPPET****
“ Now after they had left, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, 'Get up, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him.'”
Matthew 2: 13
How soon after the joy of Christmas comes this story of terror and grief. Thankfully, Joseph pays attention and changes the family’s plans accordingly. May we, like Joseph, listen for God as we steward the good news of Jesus in new ways and different directions.

Exploring the Bible TogetherZoom Bible Study every Tuesday from 6:30pm -7:30pm **Please note: we will not be meeting on January 3. We will resume our meeting Tuesday, January 10.** In our “Exploring the Bible Together” study, we meet by Zoom as a small group for about 45 minutes each week. Our study covers a wide range of topics, examining more closely the history, content, context, development, message, and interpretation of the Bible. As we do this, we grow in our understanding of the relevance and application of the Bible for our lives today. Our discussion topic for the next few weeks will be "Revelation - An Inspirational Writing": Revelation is likely the most controversial, intriguing, and also misunderstood writing in the New Testament. As our only example of ancient apocalyptic literature in the NT, it is not an easy writing for us to understand. Throughout the centuries, Revelation has also been the source of inspiration for a wide variety of art, hymns, popular music, poetry, books, and movies. We will explore Revelation as it unfolds its message of hope for us through all of its powerful (and sometimes bizarre) imagery, looking especially at all the ways that Revelation has been an inspiration to the arts. Anyone is welcome to join us - no experience with Bible study (or even the Bible) is necessary! Click here to join: Tuesday Zoom Bible Study |

Three Expressions of the Church
We are part of one church body organized in three expressions — congregations, synods, and the churchwide organization. Each expression has its particular functions but all three together share a common mission of doing God’s work in the world and proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ. Together, they ensure a solid foundation of leadership, active involvement in communities, opportunities for dialogue and diverse perspectives, creative partnerships, and support for members and ministries of the ELCA.
