Join the Choir!
If singing is something that has been on your heart, please consider joining the choir. We are looking for new voices! No experience is necessary. Rehearsals typically follow worship services and last for about 30 minutes. Speak to organist and choir director Jennifer Wieland if you would like to participate or if you have questions. Or just come up to the balcony after services to join in!
"I will praise God’s name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving" (Psalm 69:30 NIV).

Portals of Prayer is a daily devotional booklet from Concordia Publishing House that is provided by our congregation. Please pick up the October - December edition on the table in the upper narthex for you and a friend!
A word from Jesus after He is tempted by the devil in the wilderness:
