THE DISTRIBUTION

Please note that we commune only those who are communicant members of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod.  Although we long to share this precious gift with you, we also recognize that where one receives the Sacrament outwardly, this also identifies that person's confession of faith.  If you desire to learn more about our beliefs, please speak to Pastor.

REMEMBER OUR SHUT-INS Your Pastor regularly visits the shut-in members of our congregation to share the Good News with them in Word and Sacrament.
