Lent Devotions

Posted on March 7, 2014 by Pastor

Are you looking for a good Lenten devotion to draw you nearer to God.  There are many good sources out there but here is a link to one I have found.  The devotions are written by David Lose, a professor at Luther Seminary in St. Paul.  Happy Lenten wanderings!

Lutheran Day on the Hill

Plan to join Lutheran Services in Iowa (LSI), Pastor Chad and other Lutherans from around Iowa on Monday, March 10 for Lutheran Day on the Hill as we help give voice to Iowa’s Children and Families.

We will learn about advocacy, hear from special guest speakers and have the opportunity to talk to your legislators about critical issues facing children, families and adults.  We will also have the opportunity to meet briefly with Governor Branstad and Lt. Gov. Reynolds.

There is no cost to attend.  A bus will leave early (probably around 7:00 a.m.) in Iowa City. Participants will also receive a T-Shirt and sack lunch free.  If you want additional information or register please go to LSI’s website here.
