Food Pantry Collection for February

SOUP!

Feeding the hungry is an important ministry, taught by Christ.  Each month we focus on collecting a different food item to help stock a local food pantry's shelves.  For the month of February we'll be collecting soup - either cans or packets.  Our donations are sent to Never Alone Again Resource Center in Teaneck - a ministry that does wonderful work!

Annual Congregational Meeting

Sunday, February 9th, after worship

In the Lutheran Church we value transparency  in ministry.  Each year we meet as a congregation to reflect on our mission and financial matters of the previous year, and to vote on the new year's budget.   All voting members are strongly encouraged to attend so they are informed of our many ministry efforts and the financial stewardship of the congregation's resources.

Book Group, Rescheduled

Tuesday, February 18th, 7:00pm

We had to cancel book group last month due to bad weather.  It is rescheduled for February 18th:


Living in Wonder:  Finding Mystery and Meaning in a Secular Age by Rod Dreher, 2024.


Join the bestselling author of The Benedict Option and Live Not by Lies on an exploration of the mystery and meaning of the supernatural world and discover that the universe is not what we think it is: it is far more strange, exciting, connected, and adventurous.

Movie Night

Saturday, February 22nd, 6:00pm

"Sound of Hope"

Inspired by a true story, "Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot" follows Donna and Reverend Martin as they ignite a fire in the hearts of their rural church to embrace kids in the foster system that nobody else would take.  By adopting 77 children, this community proved that, with real, determined love, the battle for America's most vulnerable can be won.


Pizza, popcorn and beverages will be served.

Anointing for Healing

Sunday, February 23rd during worship

At the end of our worship service, all those who would like to receive a prayer of healing and anointing of their foreheads with oil are invited to come forward and receive a prayer and anointing by the pastor.  Anointing with oil for healing is a practice handed down to us from the New Testament (Mark 6:13, James 5:14).

Prayer Meeting & Brown Bag Lunch

Wednesdays, noon

Each Wednesday we gather for a simple service of prayer using the words of the Great Litany, the Lord's Prayer and our own individual petitions.  We speak, but there is also time for silence.  We also light prayer candles to help us focus, as symbols to the presence of the Holy Spirit, and of our prayers rising to God.  

After our time of prayer we enjoy a bring-your-own brown bag lunch.

Choir Rehearsal

Wednesdays, 7:30pm

Our choir sings weekly from Sept. - June and their musical offerings add such meaning to our worship!  If you love to sing, the choir would love to have you with them!

Bible Study

Thursdays, 7:00pm

On November 14th we will begin a 12 week series, getting to know "Old Testament Characters."  We'll be learning about:  Jonah, Hannah, Samuel, Abraham, King Saul and Esther just to name a few!

If you'd like to attend any or all of the sessions, please let Fran or Pastor know so that we can order a booklet for you.
