TODAY, February 15
COMING SOON!
Living Waters will soon be offering a 6
session discussion and conversation
about popular movies with religious
themes. Participants will have the week
to watch a video on their own and then
come
to
each
session
for
discussion. What do we think about
movies like “God Is Not Dead,” “Left
Behind” and “Heaven is Real”? How do
these messages line up with our Lutheran
theology?
Each week offers two
opportunities to attend? Wednesdays,
beginning Feb 25 at 7:30pm or Fridays,
beginning Feb 27 @ 10am. Check out
the display in the narthex!

NEXT SUNDAY, February 22
"The Candy Shop: Where
God's Love is Sweet!
This is a FREE Day Camp for Kindergartners thru 3rd graders
TOMORROW from 9am - 3pm. The day camp is completely designed and
run by the 8th grade confirmation class, though there will also be
adults there to help out! Kids will play games, do crafts, sing,
watch skits, participate in interactive bible stories, and have a blast!
Registration forms are at the Ministry corner and the Tiki Hut!
Want to help in worship?
Do your kids get bored in church?
Consider giving them a job to do at church!
Submit a quick online request, and you’ll be set
to go! One of the pastors will train your child
on the job, and walk them through it that
morning before worship. It’s a fun and easy
way to get involved.
Go to www.lwlcmn.org,
click on “at LWLC”,
then “worship”,
then “worship helpers.”
