****STEWARDSHIP SNIPPET****
“But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died through the one man's trespass, much more surely have the grace of God and the free gift in the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abounded for the many.”
Romans 5: 15
Paul twice refers to God’s mercy through Jesus as a “free gift,” and in the full Romans passage for today he uses the phrase “free gift” five times! We best use and care for God’s “free gift” by living with joy, gratitude and love, and modeling mercy and grace in our own lives.

Exploring the Bible TogetherZoom Bible Study every Tuesday from 6:30pm -7:30pm ***Please note: there will be no meeting on Tuesday, February 28. We will resume class on Tuesday, March 7*** 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. We have begun a new study series on the Gospel of Matthew. This church year the majority of our gospel readings will come from Matthew. It is a beautiful writing which shares the story of Jesus in a pwerful way. 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.
