  • LENT | The Hands of Jesus

    Wednesday, March 26 | The Hands of Jesus Who Raises the Dead


    When Jesus reached out and touched the bier of the widow’s dead son, the funeral procession was stopped dead in its tracks. Like the prophets Elijah and Elisha before Him, Jesus raised the only child of a woman in need. When Jesus touches death, it can only mean life. Above all, in Christ’s cross, He destroyed death by His death (2 Timothy 1:10). Christ touched death, and death was overcome by His resurrection life. When our sin and its deadly consequences are touched by Jesus in Baptism, we are united to His death and resurrection. So we are now “dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus” (Romans 6:11). 


    Menu for our April 2 dinner | Sponsored by the Shepherd's Chorale and Sunday Women's Bible Study. They will be serving bratwurst/hot dogs, green beans, German potato salad and dessert.

  • Holy Week & Easter

    From Palm Sunday through Easter, Holy Week is a precious time to ponder what Jesus has done for us and for His whole creation. On Holy Thursday, the hands of our Lord Jesus love and care for all as He humbly washes feet and blesses bread and wine, instituting the Lord’s Supper. On that awe-full Good Friday, He stretches His hands on the cross and sacrifices His life to rescue the world. On the Sabbath day, Jesus’ hands that rested after the completion of creation now rest in the tomb; the work of redemption is done. And best of all, a new day of creation comes on Sunday: Jesus’ hands are triumphantly raised at His resurrection! Alleluia!


    Join us for Holy Week Services as we celebrate our risen Savior!
