From the Pastor’s desk

Because you decided to be the church…
* Five young people had a terrific time at Lutheran Outdoor Ministries Camp.
* Thirty children learned about power in Jesus’ name during Vacation Bible School.
* The Rogman family does not feel alone as they seek to rebuild their lives.
* Two young couples found a place to get married and begin their life together.
* Thousands were fed through Lutheran World Relief.
* Hundreds of NIU students heard the Gospel in the midst of tragedy and fear.
* Dozens of people gathered in Rock Island to accomplish the work of the Synod.
And you lived your faith in the midst of tornadoes and floods.

Keep up the good work. In times like these, there is no better time to live the Gospel. And keep being re-charged by coming to worship.

Pastor Otto
