If you haven't already seen it, please enjoy a hymn today! A Mighty Fortress is Our God!

A Mighty Fortress (#504) vocal
and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Many thanks to Brooke, Gloria, Lyle, Denise, and my very own mom Ann Schumacher who was in town to help record on this.

Look for some Christmas favorites coming your way soon with a little more time for you to get in on the fun too.

Happy Reformation!

Ben

Gethsemane Lutheran is proud to continue the annual Gethsemane Lutheran Winter Coat Drive.

Even in the midst of a pandemic; we are sure to follow CDC and ODE safety guidelines while distributing coats to local schools for children in need of a warm coat this winter.

A great big THANK YOU to all who continue to support this ministry with your continued prayers, donations and support. This year will prove to be especially hard with collection and distribution; which has in highlighted the blessings along the way!

God is love and mercy and calls us to be His people. We are gifted with His abundant grace. We are a community, a people who care, expressing the Lord's compassion. We continue to serve with joy and love.
