Galatians — the first book written in the New Testament — gives us the clearest picture of the gospel. It’s a letter that changed the world, shaping the hearts of countless believers. Martin Luther loved it so much he called it his “Katie,” after his beloved wife.
Join us for a five-week journey through this powerful letter as we explore the freedom Christ has given us — freedom from guilt, from legalism, and from trying to earn what’s already been freely given
Come rediscover the joy of the gospel and the life-changing grace of Jesus Christ.

The Seder is a traditional and communal dinner where the story of the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt and slavery is retold, with food playing a central role in the storytelling.
The Seder is an occasion for praise and thanksgiving, as well as for re-dedication to the idea of liberation—for our ancestors and for us, each and every day through Christ.

The Convergence of Science and the Bible
2025-01-14 00:00 - 2025-01-28 00:00
Cosmology is the investigation of the universe as a whole—its origin, structure, and development. The questions cosmologist addresses are profound, both scientifically and theologically. Is the universe finite or infinite in extent? Is it eternal or does it have a beginning? Was it created or did it form from natural processes? Cosmology is not a subject just for ivory tower academics. Cosmology is for everyone.
Meets Tuesdays, January 14, 21 and 28 at 10:30 AM in the Music Room inside the Administration building. All are welcome!

First Communion
2024-04-25 08:00 - 2024-05-12 17:00
Dear parents, uncles, aunts, and grandparents,
Did you ever think of First Communion for the younger faith warriors in your family? Now you’ll have the opportunity! During April the students at Sunday School learned about everything that might be related to the Eucharist and how Jesus broke the bread and shared the cup with his friends. They learned how the first Christians celebrated and why we are doing what we are doing on Sunday mornings. This is a great foundation to take Communion for the very first time at worship! However, if you feel your child, niece/nephew, grandchild is ready, just join the 2024 group by calling Sarah at 956-639-4104. The celebration will be on Mother’s Day, May 12, 2024 at 9:00 am. Rehearsal will be on Sunday, April 28 after the 9:00am service!
Hope to see you there!
Pastor Karin
