This Sunday in worship we think about how sinful human beings will reject God and his grace. We are rescued from this rejection by Jesus, the Chief Cornerstone. We are built up this grace of Jesus.
Sunday at 8:00 and 10:15 a.m.
Midweek Lenten services at Wednesdays at 4:00 and 7:00 p.m. The 8am service will be livestreamed here (During Lent we do not have a Thursday service.)

Evening Prayer is this Wednesday, April 6. Our theme will be “A Part for the Whole?” based on Luke 23:13-16.
Join us for supper! It’s a Chick-fil-A day! On Wednesday, April 6th the St. Luke’s Youth group will be serving Chick-fil-A chicken sandwiches from 4:45p.m. to just 6 p.m. The teens are asking you to please donate generously so they can attend the WELS Youth Rally in Knoxville, Tennessee this summer. It’s a four day event that teaches them to be leaders in their communities and gives them confidence to share Jesus in a fun, energetic atmosphere. We need more teens willing to be faith filled leaders in our communities and share Jesus. Wouldn’t you agree?
So, friends please grab a Chick-fil-A meal and donate generously to get these 17 outstanding teens to the Youth Rally this summer.

Childcare is now available for 1-2 year olds during the Bible class. Infants younger than 1 year are also welcome dependent on the number of kiddos attending and the number of teen providers each Sunday. No signup is needed for using this childcare. This will be located in the family room behind the sanctuary.

The Ministry Minute
Please join us on holy Thursday (April 14th) immediately following 4:00pm worship to canvas the neighborhood just outside our doors. We will be handing out these lovely invitations (see photo above), personally asking our neighbors to join us for breakfast and worship on Easter Sunday. Pastor Redfield will help prepare us with a prayer and a script of sorts, to ensure we feel confident inviting. Our first goal is to canvas the apartments/duplexes east and southeast of our parking lot, but hope to encircle the church within manageable walking distance, depending on time (dusk) and how many of you come! Please let me know if we can expect you by texting me (Kelly Wendorff) at 920.948.0067
