Devotion for July 7, 2021 from Pastor Tia Pelz of Christ the King: Dear praised Saints!  School is out! It’s summer! Which this year feels weird, like there wasn’t even enough school to have earned vacation. At least in the kids’ mind. I am aware that teachers might disagree.  Summer in our house means plenty

Hi, Everybody:This Sunday, July 4th, is the 4th of July (duh!), and the 6th Sunday after Pentecost.  Come to the 10 a.m. Outdoor Worship Service clad in your Independence Day best, or join us any time online for the pre-recorded Online Worship Service.  Zoom Coffee Chat is still at 9:15 a.m. and Zoom Communion is still offered at 9:30.  Sorry, no fireworks (unless they’re virtual).

Devotion for June 1, 2021, from Pastor Tim of Holy Trinity: One of the things I missed most during the past 16 months is… As we continue to venture out from our COVID cocoons we are once again face to face with family, friends, neighbors and co-workers. It has felt like an eternity since we

Devotion for June 11, 2021, from Pastor Tia of Christ the King: It’s the season of the Holy Spirit. Well, the Holy Trinity, but since we most often ignore the Holy Spirit in our teachings and prayers, it’s basically the season of the year when we are reminded that we worship a triune God. Father,

Hi, Everybody: It was sure nice to see so many of you last Sunday at our first outdoor service! (official count – 41) I think it went rather well, considering.  The somewhat difficult pre-packaged communion elements did not lead to any spilled blood or blown-away bodies, and the only fire we had was quickly under control (sounds like

Hi, Everybody. Sorry this email is so late – blame COVID! (What will I do when it’s no longer a plausible excuse?) This Sunday, June 6, is the 2nd Sunday after Pentecost and our first In-person Outdoor Worship Service!  These services are planned for 10 a.m. each Sunday throughout the summer, unless COVID conditions change.
