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.

: “All are welcome!” Is that true at our church? Would we truly welcome the stranger who doesn’t look or talk like we do, or would we ask, “What is someone like that doing here?” Or perhaps you ask that question about yourself. “There seem to be godly people here. I’m not like them. Do I really belong?” Jesus reminds us again that the Church is for all people. All of us – regardless of age, ethnicity, gender, or social status – have the same problem of sin. And we all have the same Savior.
