Help Support Your Congregation and Daycare through Thrivent Choice. If you own a Thrivent product (life insurance, annuity, etc). you should have received a letter from Thrivent informing you of the amount you can give to benefit the congregation or Daycare. Please take time to read it over, then vote. Thrivent Choice replaces “Care in the Congregation” and in order for us to have money to benefit our congregation or Daycare, we need your vote. Any questions, see Betty Wood or Marge Vossler.

Sacred Acts – Baptism: This morning Haleigh Grace Golish, (daughter of Adam Felmler and Kelly Golish Vossler); and Christian August Vossler, (son of Scott and Kelly Vossler); will be baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Through their baptism, God by the power of the Holy Spirit will claim them as His beloved children. It is our sincere prayer that Haleigh and Christian will hear God’s Word, especially the good news of salvation won by Jesus Christ and remain in fellowship with the Church so that they may continue to grow in the Christian faith and life.

Sacred Acts – Baptism: This morning following this worship service Kelly Sue Vossler will confess her faith in God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and receive the Holy Spirit for the strengthening of her faith in the Sacrament of Holy Baptism. We rejoice that she is a daughter of our Lord God and we pray that she may continue to remain in fellowship with the church so that she may grow in the Christian faith and life.

Our Coffee Hour Host Today is Trinity Christian Daycare! Thank you for hosting!

Daycare CD - During the Lenten Season, our Daycare children learned several songs and a poem. With the help of Pete Carlin, our little ones became recording artists and recorded a CD.
