Pentecost 2020 - 5/31

Before the pandemic, we were planning to confirm for our young people on Pentecost. To add to the celebration, we had invited Rev. Keven Vandiver, assistant to the bishop for Manhattan, to be our guest preacher. We are thankful, in spite of all the changes in our schedules, that he will still be able to join us in worship next Sunday.

Daily Bible Verse

01 June 2020

  • Luke 1:39-57

    ​43And why has this happened to me, that the mother of my Lord comes to me? 44For as soon as I heard the sound of your greeting, the child in my womb leaped for joy. 45And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her by the Lord."

Collecting Food for the Hungry and Homeless

As the weather begins to change, life for those who are hungry and homeless becomes even more difficult. Please bring non-perishable food items and place them in the baskets at the sanctuary entrance. The food we collect will be taken to the food pantry at Trinity Lutheran Church, Lower Eastside.

 

Healing Services

We offer brief healing services on the 1st and 3rd Sundays each month. These are powerful times of anointing and prayer. They are held in the sanctuary after the 11 AM service.
