The Future Church
The ELCA’s Future Church model is based on the belief that the goal of Christ’s Church is to introduce more people to the way of Jesus and experience God’s grace in action. This new design identifies three priority areas: a welcoming church that engages new, young and diverse people; a thriving church rooted in tradition and radically relevant; and a connected, sustainable church that shares in a common purpose and direction. Be the Church!

A Prayer for Our Nation As a nation, we mourn the the violence and loss of life that occurred at our nation's Capitol on Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2021. As Christians, we are reminded of the "Great Commandment" that Jesus teaches us, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, strength and mind and your neighbor as yourself." Please keep our elected leaders & their staffs, security forces, first responders and all citizens of all political ideologies in your prayers. Also pray for peace and justice for all God's children, everywhere.
“Eternal God, amid all the turmoil and changes of the world your love is steadfast and your strength never fails. In this time of danger and trouble, be to us a sure guardian and rock of defense. Guide the leaders of our nation with your wisdom, comfort those in distress, and grant us courage and hope to face the future; through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.” (ELW additional prayers)
