Welcome!   In the name of Jesus, you are heartIly welcomed.    We pray that God will use this time of gathering for God’s purpose and to nurture your faith.  If you are new to a Lutheran service, we really want to help you enjoy and become comfortable with our worship.  Please fill out the information sheet in the black book in the pew so that we may note your presence with us today.

GOD’S HOUSE IS EXACTLY WHERE CHILDREN SHOULD BE!  We welcome them fully. Chairs are located near the nursery -- in the hallway by the window -- if your child becomes noisy or restless.  The nursery is open and available to children up to 3 years old.

HOLY COMMUNION: You do not have to be a member of this congregation to receive Holy Communion.  All baptized Christians who believe that Christ is truly present in this Sacrament are invited to the table. Glasses of white grape juice are provided in each tray for those who for personal or health reasons are unable to receive wine.

WHERE:  Salvation Army on 10^th & Patterson in Newport, KY

WHEN:  Once weekly for three hours for one year.

WHY:  This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to give someone a chance to make it against the odds & share your blessings in life!!
