UPDATE
From the Senior Pastor

Dear Beloveds,
 

Please enjoy the picture of the first sunflower bloom of this season at Luther Place Church!
 


In chapter 2 verse 12, The Song of Solomon shares these words about flowers:

   The flowers appear on the earth;
        the time of singing has come...

May you find ways to celebrate flowers with singing or humming or gazing at beauty.

 

In Christ,

Pastor Karen Brau
 


Pastor Karen will be away beginning Monday, June 28, and plans to return Saturday, July 3.

Saturday School
