Dear Friends,
May God give you great trust, always, in all circumstances. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart” (Proverbs 3:5).
PRAYER: Dear Lord, remind us every day of your presence, love and care. Keep us hopeful, courageous and thankful. Direct our hearts and minds to a Savior who traveled from palm branches to the cross so that we might journey each day in the certainty of your love. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Prayer Requests
Please let us know of any personal prayer requests. You can contact Pastor Wagner, Mr. Hering or Sarah in the church office.
Prayer Circle
Every week we produce a Prayer Circle which includes a brief devotional thought, requested prayers for specific needs, and a prayer for a specific area of WELS ministry. You can receive the weekly Prayer Circle by contacting Sarah in the church office.
Email Address Request
At this time especially, we wish to develop a thorough directory of our member emails. For some, we have one address for an entire household. For others, we have no email addresses. We request that you send us new, updated and individual family member email addresses so we can more effectively communicate with you!
Offerings
Thank you for your prayerful financial support for our ministry! You may mail your offering envelopes or drop them off in person to the church office (they will be placed in the safe) or use direct checks from your bank that are mailed to our church. In addition, you may engage Vanco, an online giving service, through our church website to offer your gifts to the Lord’s work.
Final Thought
Might you consider grabbing your church directory and calling fellow members to see how they’re doing? Let them know you’re thinking about them and praying for them.
Please don’t hesitate to let us know how we can serve you.
God bless your journey through Holy Week!
Serving Jesus,
Pastor Wagner and Mr. Hering
