LutheranHands Summer Mission Trip in Philadelphia, PA
This summer ten of our youth and young adults, along with three adult members, will be heading out July 5-11 to Philadelphia where they will be serving with the Greater Philadelphia community with The Philadelphia Project. The Philadelphia Project's mission is to partner with the local church, serve our most vulnerable neighborhoods, and provide transformative service opportunities. Please keep them in your prayers during this time.
Community Meal
Looking for good food and great company? Come join us for the Community Meal on Wednesday, July 8 at 5:30pm in the Social Hall! After enjoying the meal, stay and have some fun with games. Feel free to bring along your favorite board or card games, just a heads-up to keep them PG-13 or younger. Hope to see you there!

Matthew 11:28 - "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
Jesus has come to do the work so that we might have rest from burdens and labors we are not capable of bearing. He frees us from sin, death, and the demands of the Law. In that peace and rest of Jesus we find a new purpose -- His light yoke is not a burden to bear, but a joy!
