Prayer Requests
Shockeys in the Holy Land
Pastor Mark and Joann have an opportunity to join a dozen other pastors and spouses on a Biblical familiarization tour of Israel. They will be visiting sites to discover the context of the Bible. Please pray that they will be further equipped for ministry as well as their safety and wellbeing. Shalom Shockeys! If you are facing a pastoral emergency feel free to reach out to Pastor Norm, 952-454-7615.
Support for Mongolia
The Lutheran Heritage Foundation has been part of translating a children’s Bible storybook and the Small Catechism into Mongolian. Pastor Shockey’s parents were among the first missionaries in this country. Now, with our support, a small booklet, “Jesus Never Fails”, just translated, will be distributed to individuals needing to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ. Would you consider being part of this mission opportunity to help new Christians reach maturity? Mark your gifts “Mongolia”.

Life Sunday
The Minnesota South District and Concordia University St Paul will host a Life Chapel Service on Sunday, January 22, 2023, at Graebner Memorial Chapel, 1259 Carroll Ave., St. Paul. Chapel doors will open at 12:00 noon. Come worship the Author of Life and pray that people everywhere will uphold the sanctity of human life from conception to natural death and turn their hearts toward the children. After the Life Chapel Service, worshipers are encouraged to travel to the steps outside the Minnesota State Capitol for the Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life (MCCL) March for Life which begins at 2 pm south of the Capitol building. Marches for Life are joyful and hopeful. Come and worship and be an advocate for life! Contact Dan Utter if you are interested in joining him, 612-910-0569.
