Mask Up!
As the pandemic continues to churn in our world, First Lutheran continues to require that masks be worn and kept on during worship services or other events at the church. Those leading worship in chancel will removed their masks while speaking so as to provide clear communication for both those worshipping in person and those on line. Otherwise, everyone is required to keep their mask over their mouth and nose. Please be vigilant and encouraging to one another in observing this for the safety of all. The reality is that case numbers are rising – hopefully we can help lower those numbers and keep things moving.
HOME Holy Communion Package: If you need home communion supplies as you worship virtually, please contact the Church Office as 409-762-8477 to arrange for your package of wafers.
Help The Massai! In helping others to get an education to better themselves, The Mission Team, is asking you to help girls in Massai with donations to pay for their school fees. The cost is $600 per student. Attending school keeps these girls, at an early age, from being given into marriage by their fathers for something in return. Naomi graduated in Tanzania because of your generosity. If you can donate any amount, this will help these girls achieve their dreams. Brandi will be accepting our donations in the church office. We can make a difference in others’ futures. Thank you!!
