  February 23rd Note
  Welcome back! We hope your child enjoyed the week off from school. Starting this Wednesday we have the extra opportunity to worship our Savior King with our Lenten services. During these special Wednesday services, we focus our attention on how our Lord gives us free forgiveness through Jesus’ Passion. Lenten services are at 5:00 and 7:00, with a soup supper in between at 5:30.
