A Congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
Always remembered in Our Prayers Every Sunday, we raise up many people and situations in prayer. We pray for our sick, for those in harm’s way, for peace in war-torn areas, for people affected by natural disasters, for those who are persecuted for their faith, and for anyone close to our hearts. In addition, Pastor […]
Give it all! What does it mean to take up the cross of Jesus and follow him? Didn’t Jesus die for us? How does following Jesus lead us to the cross? Jesus takes us to more questions: Who do we say Jesus is? And if we follow Jesus, then who are we? Who am I? In […]
We are joining thousands of congregations in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America for this day of service to our community. God does the work — but God uses our hands to get it done! And we find peace and fellowship as we serve our neighbor. Click here for more information.
Even Jesus needed a break. He seems out of character in today’s reading from Mark when he talks to the non-Jewish woman who asks for healing for her daughter. We read that Jesus was trying to get away from the crowds. Could he be tired? God’s own Son – worn out, burned out, needing a […]
Say NO to racism! Fifty years after civil rights activists marched in Selma, Ala., people of color still face racism and violence – even during swimming pool parties and Bible study sessions. Everyone interested in what we can do in Nevada County to end racism is invited to a series of workshops starting at 9:15 […]
Fellowship and fun for the whole family! PEACE Lutheran Church’s annual picnic starts at 12:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 20, at Commodore Park in Lake Wildwood. It’s a great time for fellowship and fun, as we enjoy the last days of summer! Lutherans are famous for our potlucks, and the PEACE picnic follows that tradition. We’re […]
Bread and wisdom… These themes repeat in our Bible readings this week. Even Jesus’ closest followers had trouble understanding Jesus’ message when he compared himself to bread – Bread from Heaven, the Bread of Life. We pray that God give us also the wisdom to understand! We pray that the Holy Spirit enter into us, […]
Feel like something’s missing? Jesus promises that, when you walk his Path, you’ll never be hungry again. What’s really amazing? The more you let Jesus feed you, the more you find that this world’s bread – the material things we think we’re hungry for – isn’t what fills you up. Eat with us here at […]
“Welcome, Pastor Eileen!” Are you hungry? Food – physical and spiritual – comes to us from God’s abundant and lavish hands. Today’s Gospel reading likens Jesus, God’s Anointed One, to the manna that God miraculously sent to the nomadic Israelites each morning during the 40 years they wandered in the wilderness. Come to worship, where […]
“Be filled with the fullness of God.” Leftovers always taste better, right? The flavors have gone through the food, and we look forward to getting some more of that good stuff. Leftovers also are a sign of abundance – we had our fill, and still, there’s more. What a miracle! Today’s Bible lessons talk a […]
