This week’s lessons: Joshua 7:16-26, Luke 4:1-13
Dear friends,
This week began our journey with Jesus to the cross. It’s a crucial one for this crucial moment of our lives. I hope you’ll join us each Wednesday evening at 6:30 pm. I’ve left the video from this last week below.
God willing we’ll be able to stream the Lenten service over the coming weeks; please watch if you can’t make it. Subscribe to our channel.
This week we’ll look at “The Semblance of Legality”.
We remain in prayer and vigilant assistance for our fellow humans in Ukraine, especially the brothers and sisters in fellowship with us. To find out more about the need for prayer and opportunities to serve these dear brothers and sisters, please visit Ukraine – WELS.
We started planning and preparing for Easter this week. I look forward to that celebration with you. Please set aside April 17 at either 9:00 or 10:30 am to be Alive! with Jesus and the rest of us.
This weekend we get the strength to overcome tempting and testing in our lives. Be sure to join us at 9:00 or 10:30.
See you this weekend!

Catechism
After our children receive education from preschool to 5th grade, middle school students (grades 6-8) receive the next level of instruction in catechism class. Catechism class systematically instructs students in the basic teachings of the Christian faith. Catechism doesn’t teach Bible stories; it teaches doctrine so we can gain the mind of Christ.
If you’re a 6-8th grade student now or in the fall of 2022, I hope you’ll join me for this class. I love spending time with you and helping you learn to follow Jesus.
If you are a parent of a 5th grader, please contact me so that I can get your student registered for class.
Memorial Day festivities
Grab some coffee, have a hearty breakfast, and get the creative train started! We are looking for great minds to help us come up with a fun and creative way to give back to our veterans. Any and all ideas are encouraged and welcomed. Email or talk to the pastor if you have any ideas or want to be involved.
