we are a lutheran (lutheran church—missouri synod) parish of christian people who rejoice in our salvation, and in having the word of god among us. when we hear the gospel our hearts rejoice and are glad. we sing, and our choir sings, and our liturgy expresses our unspeakable gladness in the solemn dignity that befits holy joy. the lord jesus christ here lavishes us with his eternal gifts and mercy. the master serves the servants, and this wondrous mystery delights and humbles us in his presence. we welcome you to share this joy with us.
