HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 

January Calendar – Extra copies of the January 2017 calendar are on the Guest Book table.  They were placed in the Snow Sunday bulletin a couple weeks ago. 

 

Thank You – I would like to thank everyone for your kind words, your support, your gifts and your prayers this holiday season.  The season of Christmas is one of joy as well as many things that need to be done over and above the normal things in our lives. The church is not different. Because of your support and care, you have made life a little easier this past month. Thank you for your friendship and the fellowship that we have in Christ Jesus. May God bless each of you as you strive to serve the Lord.  Pastor Reimers and family

Building Healthy Families - Being a good listener is easier said than done. How often do you find yourself thinking of the next thing you want to say while someone is talking to you? Are you really listening? Take a moment to stop and listen to those people who are in your life this week. You may be surprised at how much you will learn from them and how much your relationship will improve! Lutheran Family Service
