“They are to do good, to be rich in good works, generous, and ready to share, thus storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of the life that really is life.” 1Tomothy 6:18-19

We have been richly blessed throughout the years at The Lutheran Church of the Holy Communion. We are blessed by the magnificent edifice in which we praise and worship our even more magnificent God. We are blessed by the pure and powerful notes our musicians raise heavenward to God’s glory. We are blessed that as we sometimes walk through hours darker than we ever knew life could hold, God uses Holy Communion’s ministries to reveal to us the Gospel light, the light no darkness can overcome.

The Gospel light is revealed through the Pastors’ deep compassion and care as well as through the faithful and personal ministry of Holy Communion’s entire membership.

It doesn’t take long for a visitor to recognize the storied history of our church. I am thankful that the talk in the church these days is not merely about its past accomplishments, but about our future as well. Through the adoption of our Vision Mission Direction Plan, I believe God is preparing this congregation to be used by him throughout our community. I hope each of you will continue to join our family as we take this journey of faith to see what God has in store for us—as individual believers and as a congregation..
