There will not be a 10:30 service at St. Laurence this weekend (Oct. 29).

The 9am service is still happening.

There is no 10:30 service at St. Laurence this week.

Instead, we are worshipping at Good Shepherd Lutheran once again! Join us at the 10:30 service on Sunday, October 29th as together we celebrate Reformation Sunday and hear from the youth who went to CLAY this August.

After the 10:30 service, everyone is welcome to continue the fellowship and stick around for pumpkin carving! It will be hosted by the youth of ignYte. Bring your own pumpkin if you can; there will be extras if needed. Carving tools will be provided.

There will still be a 9am service at St. Laurence this day.
