Please Welcome our Guest Today: Glen Emery from Lutheran Family Services: He will be telling us about the work of LFS during adult bible classes. Please join us in the fellowship hall following the Worship service. (11am).

Building Healthy Families: In a Bible study called “The Power of We: God's Gift to Marriage” Dr. David J. Ludwig encourages couples to recognize that good moods come when, through the power of the Holy Spirit, the “WE” is in charge, and bad moods occur when the “WE” breaks down into “YOU” and “ME”. How is the “WE” in your marriage? Go to www.thinkwe.com to take relationship quizzes and learn more. Lutheran Family Service of Iowa ((515) 251-4900)
