This is our Confirmation Sunday worship service. Today, the 12 young confirmands are reminded to be strong and courageous in the Lord — as all of us should be.
This weekend we study Acts 2:14 and 36-47, where Peter speaks from the Scriptures that Jesus is Israel’s Lord as well as Savior of the nations. Rejoice that God pours out his Spirit in Baptism and multiplies His blessings to us in daily repentance and forgiveness. Our sermon theme will be “God Still Uses the […]

Our sermon this week is based on Hebrews 4:9-16, and Eric Zabell reminds us that a sabbath rest remains!
