Lutheran Services for the Aging

This week marks week five in our six week campaign to aid Lutheran Services for the Aging in the valued services they provide to the members of our senior community. This is our Commitment Sunday where we are given the rewarding opportunity to become a part of this ministry through the commitment we pledge on this day. Please take time to prayerfully consider how you can help ensure skilled nursing care is available in a caring, faith based community for those who have cared for us throughout their lives.
