Dear Friends,

2023-2024
Family Night
When: 2nd Wednesday of the Month (6-7pm with Pizza starting at 5:30pm!)
What: This year’s Family Nights will focus on food in the Bible to help us understand what God is doing for us in the Lord’s Supper.
Who: All ages are welcome, but instruction will be focused towards elementary-age kids.
Small Catechism Bible Study
When: Wednesdays (6-7pm), except when there’s Family Night
What: This 24-week Bible Study covers the central doctrines of the Christian Faith as summarized in the 6 chief parts of Luther’s Small Catechism. We will spend lots of time in the Bible and connect its teaching to the Worship of the Church and the everyday life of Christians.
