Life Quotes
“And every life matters to God. It is impossible to live—even for a few moments on this earth—and not influence somebody in one way or another. We are all always influencing somebody—either for good or for bad. Life matters. Your life matters. Lives of kings and lives of shepherds all matter. We all matter and are important to God.” Dennis D. Nelson, Lutheran CORE - For Life A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life • lutheransforlife.org

ATTENDANCE CARDS
To keep accurate records for our church and District, we ask that you please fill out an attendance card every Sunday and on special services to let us know you are here. It is helpful if you print your last name first, and include the name of each attending family member.
