Worship for Sunday, October 25, 2020: Reformation Sunday
On this day, we recognize and remember the Reformation, and our history of always being a church that is reforming in order to live out Christ’s love and mission to the world. Over 500 years ago, Martin Luther began the Lutheran church’s journey of reforming, and we celebrate that journey today, give thanks for God’s grace in our world, and recognize the ways we still need to reform and unite as the body of Christ in the world.

Worship for Sunday, October 18, 2020: 20th Sunday after Pentecost
In today's gospel reading, the religious leaders try to trap Jesus with a question about paying taxes. In Jesus’ response, we are reminded of what is truly important in life, and how we need to be careful to not let money and possessions take control of our lives.
