Worship begins at 9:30 a.m. Sunday. Hoobing will speak to the children on "We are the Church" and his sermon, "Is That Really You, Jesus?" is based on Mark 1:4-11.

The congregation will have an opportunity to pick up copies of the annual congregational reports as well as pray for the Lutheran bishops and their spouses traveling to the Holy Land to promote peace. This trip is in response to 2005 ELCA Churchwide Assembly resolution on peace in the Middle East.
