Dear Friends,

As we enter the season of Lent we are not alone.  Solomon son of David, king of Israel wrote: "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up."  (Ecclesiastes 4:9,10)   As children of the gracious Heavenly Father we take joy in our lives in Christ, our lives together, we take joy in CHURCH.

What a joy it is to be numbered among the saints, to be declared righteous and holy for Christ's sake.   Through the ark of the CHURCH, wherever God's Word is proclaimed and the sacraments (Baptism and The Lord's Supper) are present, God provides forgiveness, life, hope and salvation.  There is no greater joy in all the earth than to hear that wonderful story that God loves me, that God forgives me.   These words of  truth are life and salvation.  The journey only gets sweeter when we share His Words and this life with each other - what a wonderful life!  Indeed, "Two are better than one...".  

Take a tour and see what we're about.  We'd  love to have you join us this weekend for worship!  

Peace Be With You,

Martin Schroeder, Pastor
