Virtual Coffee Hour

You are encouraged to remain online after the worship service to chat with fellow worshipers and connect with other community conversations.


Holy Communion

During our worship service we celebrate Holy Communion from our own homes. You are invited to prepare for this by having a small piece of bread or cracker, as well as juice, wine, or water with you as worship begins. Please contact Pastor Kristen if you have any questions.

Church Council Meeting

Sunday, April 18 at 10:30 a.m.

Special Earth Day Worship Service April 25


As we gather on Zoom for worship on the 25th, we will experience together the special service put together by Lutherans Restoring Creation. This creation-focused service will include a sermon by Bishop Elizabeth Eaton, Presiding Bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).  

Informational Meeting Scheduled

So many things have changed in the past few months, in regards to the spread of COVID-19. The ELCA national church has offered new guidelines for both outdoor and indoor worship using new data points, including percentage of people vaccinated in the county.   

After worship on Sunday, May 2, there will be a presentation of the new data recommendations for worshipping in person, both outside and inside, and how that compares with up-to-date data from St. Louis County.

In an effort to get the most accurate count of who has been partially or fully vaccinated, it would be very helpful if you would contact Pastor Kristen by phone, text, or email to let her know if you and others in your household have been vaccinated.
