As Christians, we constantly need the renewal and strengthening which we receive through the Word of God and through His Holy Supper. We need this renewal and strengthening in order to remain in the one true faith and to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, the center of our congregational life is the Sunday morning worship service. We are looking forward to seeing you this Sunday. The Lord bless you!
Voices Raised to You We Offer,
1 Voices raised to you we offer; Tune them, God, for songs of praise.
Hearts and hands we bring in tribute For your gifts through all our days.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Triune God, to you we sing!
2 All creation joins to praise you; Earth and sky your works display.
Art and music, gifts you lend us, We return to you today.
Alleluia! Alleluia! God, Creator, source of life!
3 Christ, the song of love incarnate, Touching earth with heaven’s grace.
For your living, suff’ring, dying, For your rising, hear our praise!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Christ, Redeemer, Lord of life!
4 Spirit, flaming through creation, Kindle faith within each heart.
Lift our voices high in chorus; Through our hands your love impart.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Spirit, Helper, breath of life!
5 How can any praise we offer Measure all the thanks we owe!
Take our hearts and hands and voices—Gifts of love we can bestow.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Triune God, to you we sing!
