Serving Our Neighbors – Sunday, September 11
Please join us on God’s Work Our Hands Sunday, September 11 as our congregation will put OUR HANDS together to do GOD’S WORK – striving to share God’s love with many people, both
locally and globally.
Thousands of ELCA congregations across the nation will participate in this dedicated day of service to ‘be the church together,’ making positive changes in our communities and sharing God’s grace in
tangible ways.
We invite ALL of the LCOR family to gather in the Ministry Center from 9:30 – 11 am on God’s Work Our Hands Sunday, Sept. 12 (this is the time between the two Sunday morning services). We ask those who attend the 8:30 service to stay after worship, and those who attend the 11 am service to please come early (at 9:30).

THANK YOU for participating in God’s Work Our Hands (GWOH) in unique yet effective ways this year as we Gather, Write, Open and Haul (GWOH). As we strive to be safe and socially distanced during this pandemic, we celebrate that we can still effectively participate in God’s Work Our Hands activities – as individuals within our families and neighborhoods and also as a faith community working together to share God’s love with others, both locally and globally. THANKS again and again!
