We have a style of worship that respects the traditional, meaningful liturgy of our heritage. We make great use of our musical resources to adorn our time of worship and enhance our growth and understanding of God's action in the world. We are a loving community dedicated to care for each other and to have compassion for those in need and to seek justice in the issues of our time.

SUNDAY BRUNCH THIS MONTH WILL BE HELD ON THE 2ND SUNDAY, VALENTINE'S DAY, HOSTED BY TEAM ONE.
We thought it might be a bit more festive to have Brunch on Valentine's Day rather than the 1st Sunday in Lent. We can have a champagne (or Martinelli's Sparkling Cider) toast to the Transfiguration of our Lord, and then give up champagne for Lent, which begins on Ash Wednesday, February 17th. We ask that people bring their Palm Branches from last year's Palm Sunday procession on Brunch Sunday. Team Two, in March, will return to the regular 3rd Sunday.

Lutheran World Relief will provide life-saving assistance in response to the earthquake in Haiti. Details of the emergency response will made available as we learn more about the immediate needs on the ground. Lutheran World Relief is currently accepting donations for this response.

Lutheran World Relief president John Nunes adds, "We ask that you pray for the people of Haiti and for our local partners on the ground with whom we have lost contact. Lutheran World Relief will work expeditiously to put your prayers and gifts to work to save lives in Haiti."

Donations to the Haiti Earthquake fund can be made by phone at 800-LWR-LWR-2, online at lwr.org, or by mailing a check or money order to Lutheran World Relief Haiti Earthquake Relief, P.O. Box 17061, Baltimore, MD 21298-9832.
