Faith is a living, bold trust in God's grace, so certain of God's favor that it would risk death a thousand times trusting in it. Such confidence and knowledge of God's grace makes you happy, joyful and bold in your relationship to God and all creatures. The Holy Spirit makes this happen through faith. Because of it, you freely, willingly and joyfully do good to everyone, serve everyone, suffer all kinds of things, love and praise the God who has shown you such grace. - Martin Luther

Help for Haiti


It's probably been impossible to miss the news reports about the earthquake in Haiti earlier this week. And sometimes it feels pretty impossible to make any difference or be of much help in the face of such devastation.
But God works through us, and already Lutheran Disaster Response and Lutheran World Relief are working to help. If you'd like to help, you can give online, or during worship on Sunday. One of the great things about LDR is that if you designate funds to help a particular situation, 100% of the money will be used for that purpose.
And don't forget to hold our brothers and sisters in Haiti in prayer.
