SERMONS AVAILABLE – From time to time a parishioner may ask for a printed copy of Pastor Drews’ sermon. Pastor makes copies for the students in his catechism class and also a few extra so his sermon is already available in print each week. Look for the holder on the wall next to the flower chart. Hopefully this location will be more convenient for all. YOU CAN RECYCLE YOUR OLD Portals of Prayers and Bibles. There is a collection box in the wing where you can recycle your old Portals of Prayer and Bibles that are in good condition.
