Building Healthy Families

Posted April 28, 2026

Building Healthy Families:  Would your mom or dad make it into a “Perfect Parent Hall of Fame”? Probably not—because let’s be honest, there’s no such thing as a perfect earthly parent. But imperfect, amazing Christian parents for whom we’re eternally thankful? Absolutely! Open your hymn book today and revisit Luther’s explanation of the 4th commandment. How are you doing with this one? Where does it challenge you—or gently nudge you to do something different? Prayerfully consider how you might better apply this instruction. In doing so, may you discover a deeper joy in following God’s path – honoring, loving, respecting, and appreciating the imperfect parents who are part of your story. www.LutheranFamilyService.org Lutheran Family Service 


VBS REGISTRATIONS

VBS REGISTRATIONS
VBS Registrations are open!!

Top o’ the Morning! From the lush meadows of its countryside to the cobblestone streets of its cities, there is something to delight the senses everywhere we turn in Ireland. So, journey with us to Emerald Crossing: An Irish Adventure Through Psalm 23. Every stop along our path will teach us about the Good Shepherd and how he cares for his sheep.
Lads and Lasses ages 4 years old through sixth grade are invited to join us Monday-Friday from 8:45 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on June 1-5, 2026, for VBS.  3-year-olds who have attended Sunday School or Preschool or will be accompanied by a parent/adult are welcome to register.  We will also need an abundance of volunteers (from youth through adults).  We are excited to have you join us!
So, pull on your work boots, grab your walking staff, and get ready for a grand ol’ time at Emerald Crossing!
