"Witness, Mercy, Life Together"
This 5 session study explores the biblical basis of WITNESS, MERCY, LIFE TOGETHER, the threefold emphasis of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod. Helpful explanations of the Greek terms and references to Bible passages addressing witness, mercy and life together are included. The study is enriched by a series of four instructional videos by President Harrison.
Taught by Deaconess Jeri Morrison in the Martin Luther Room.

“Little Lambs Worship” is for children ages 3-5 years. Children will go to the Martin Luther Room with a grown-up when the Sermon Hymn begins. For approximately 25 minutes, the children will have prayers, songs, offering, Bible lesson and an activity that is related to the lesson. They will even get a take home page that retells the Bible lesson and gives parents ideas for activities that will reinforce that lesson through the week. Watch for children to return after the morning thankofferings are collected so they may come to Holy Communion with you to receive a blessing. If you are planning to have any 3-5 year old visitors attend worship with you, please let Deaconess Jeri know so we can prepare for their participation.

We offer a variety of Bible studies on Sunday Mornings, Tuesday evenings and throughout the week. The courses are a mixture of topical Bible studies as well as Books of the Bible, and Bible 'survey' courses (going through the whole Bible); and are offered at various levels of study (novice to advanced). If you have any questions, please contact Deaconess Jeri through the church office.
