Welcome to Martin Luther Church
Martin Luther Church, as a congregation, welcomes and
celebrates the richness and diversity of all God’s people, regardless of
where they’ve come from or where they are in their life’s journey.
Therefore, we follow the teaching of 2 Corinthians 5:18: “All this is
from God who reconciled us through Jesus Christ and gave us the ministry
of reconciliation.”
We believe that the good news of Jesus Christ is to be shared by all
people without regard to age, race, gender identity, sexual orientation,
socioeconomic status, or physical or mental abilities. All are welcome
as members of the Body of Christ as workers in the kingdom of God, and
at the table of our Lord.

 Sunday
Morning Adult Classes

to meet at 7:00 p.m. on the third Monday of each month, with Pastor

WELCA Bible Study
September 14, 2010
6:00 p.m. at MLC
WELCA Bible study
group will meet on the second Tuesday of the month at 6 p.m. and will be
using the Lutheran Woman Today study. This year's theme is "The People
of God: Unity in the Midst of Diversity." The study is based on the Book
of Faith initiative of the ELCA, and begins with a study of how we
actually read the Bible. Biblical interpretation is at the root of many
of the differences that divide us and it can be a way we learn from each
other. As we discover how others read the Bible, we find new ways to
think about it. Join us for some relaxing discussion and relationship
building along the way! The first meeting will be held September 14.
SAVE THE DATES!
