****STEWARDSHIP SNIPPET****
"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect."
Romans 12: 2
The early Christians did not conform to the world’s standards, which values money and power above everything else. They were known as people who loved God above all else and showed love for neighbors through their care for the neediest among them. They provide an excellent role model for us today. |

Seekers and Sponges Sunday Morning ClassAugust 27: Meeting @ 8:30AM In-person and Zoom Click HERE or the button below to join Seekers & Sponges by Zoom. Seekers and Sponges has started a "Study Curriculum on Civic Life and Faith" prepared by the ELCA Task Force on Studies for Civic Life and Faith. The Task Force has released this study curriculum for use throughout our church as we engage the question, what does it mean to be a Christian in civic life. The study invites participants to delve into the nature of politics, the meaning of the Scriptures, the purpose of government, the responsibility of congregations and church-related organizations, First Amendment issues, the relationship of faith-based living and civic life, connections between worship life and serving neighbor in society, the nature of citizenship, and other relevant topics. Printed materials will be available in the classroom or you may access the material at www.elca.org/civics and faithstudy In our class, everyone in our group becomes a teacher for one another, sharing experiences and perspectives that facilitates a respectful, enlightening approach to adult learning. Please join us in the multimedia classroom at the end of the hallway. You will find the discussion engaging, insightful, and challenging, and it will expand how you look at your faith!

Exploring the Bible TogetherZoom Bible Study every Tuesday from 6:30pm -7:30pm 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. 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.
