To begin the summer months, we will explore together Paul's 2nd letter to the church at Corinth. In this letter Paul is fighting to keep a foot in the door of a congregation that is falling out of love with him. The issues we will explore in 2nd Corinthians are relevant to the struggles of our present day churches and lives. Come and explore the meaning of 2nd Corinthians for you!
All are welcome at worship with Holy Communion on the first and third Sunday of the month at 9 AM or at Morning Prayer on the second and fourth Sundays at the same time.

Lutheran Disaster Response and the Nepal Earthquake
Nepal Area Earthquake
The Situation:Sections of the city’s historic center lie in rubble. News reports indicate that more than 3,500 people have died and thousands are injured in the valley surrounding Kathmandu. The death toll is expected to rise as people are believed to be trapped under rubble. Deaths have been reported in neighboring India, Tibet and Bangladesh. The tremor also set off a deadly avalanche on Mount Everest.
Our Response:
Lutheran Disaster Response is committed to walking with our brothers and sisters in Nepal, as rescue efforts and assessments continue. The Lutheran World Federation (LWF) has launched an immediate large-scale emergency response with its emergency team in Kathmandu at the LWF offices, which have escaped the worst impact of the quake. The ELCA is the only U.S. member church of the LWF. We are also working with Lutheran World Relief and church partners from ACT Alliance to coordinate the response, which includes the distribution of immediate life-saving supplies such as water, food, shelter and medication to people injured.
What Can You Do?
Pray:
Pray for people affected by the earthquake and its aftershocks, especially as they grieve the loss of loved ones and property. Pray for the LWF and Lutheran World Relief emergency teams on the ground, who are standing with people and communities affected.
Give:
Your gifts designated for the “Nepal Area Earthquake” will be used in full (100 percent) to assist those directly impacted. Gifts from people like you allow us to continue our response.
