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.

Married Couples Weekend The
sign-up list for the married couples’ retreat at Camp CILCA near Springfield
on May 14-15 is posted in the narthex. We
are limited to 14 couples, so please put your name down soon.
The retreat sign-up is now open to couples from other circuit
churches, so please put your name down today! More details about the retreat are found on the list.
The retreat will be an informal opportunity for fellowship with fellow
couples and an opportunity to grow together in the Word of God.
We will be discussing ways of strengthening our marriage, but this will
not be an intensive psychological workshop.
Rite of Confirmation Next
Sunday, May 1, we will celebrate the Rite of Confirmation during the Divine
Service. Our six confirmands are:
Victoria Dokey, Braden Ehrat, Rachel Kleinik, Ali Meyer, Austin Schukar, and
Lexie Schukar. We will also be
celebrating the Sacrament of Holy Communion during Divine Service next Sunday.
New tracts are now available in the narthex tract rack
on the wall next to the kindergarten room entrance. Feel free to take as many as you want to read and to share
with others.
Open Forum Trinity Lutheran Church in Springfield will be
holding an open forum on Saturday, Apr. 30, from noon to 2:30 p.m.
Dr. Lawrence Rast, Associate Professor of Historical Theology at
Concordia Theological Seminary, will be leading the forum.
The theme is “God’s Prevailing Word,” which will discuss how
God’s Word speaks to modern issues within our Missouri Synod.
Please talk to Pastor Wohletz for more information.
The Laborers for Christ,
an organization that assists Missouri Synod congregations with their building
programs, is seeking volunteers to help with a number of projects around the
