Welcome! Thank you for joining us for worship today. In our services, we gather before our almighty God to receive his gifts and to offer him our worship and praise. Through God’s powerful Word and Sacraments, he renews our faith and strengthens us to serve in joy.

Don’t you hate it when someone has prepared an excellent meal, but travel delays mean that certain friends or relatives don’t get to enjoy it? Sometimes there are no leftovers, and an opportunity is lost. God has prepared an extraordinary spiritual meal for all people. It is received by faith but it is not offered forever. Death takes away the sinner’s time of grace, but we have invitations to heaven in our hands to share. Those invitations go out to the Twin Cities Hmong people through the ministry of our guest preacher, Pastor Pheng Moua. May his stories move us to welcome others to the heavenly banquet.
