Regarding participation in the Blessed Sacrament of Christ’s True Body and Blood: Because oneness at the altar presupposes oneness in faith and doctrine, we expect that all who commune at the Lord’s altar are members in good standing of an LCMS congregation. We ask that all who commune register on a communion card. All visitors should state their home LCMS congregation. First time visitors please speak to Pastor Dreyer. Individual cups for those desiring them are available as you approach the altar.

Welcome visitors! Please sign the guestbook in the narthex to acknowledge your presence.

In our prayers Fred Berning (Harborside), Herb Mailand (Woodcrest), Gert Deister and
Mary Scheumann (Woodview), Conner Emenhiser, Florence Hoffman, Amanda Bultemeier, Xavior Palacios, Marie Hobrock, Sherrill Peters (sister-in-law of Bob and Jeanette Peters) and Betty Schroeder (sister-in-law of Jean Uffelman and Jeanette Peters). We mourn with Bess Fuhrmann and family at the recent passing of her sister, Sue Hibler Our soldiers: in Afghanistan - Erich Roberts (brother of seminarian’s wife Emily Ottmers); Katie Tedeschi in Japan; Casey Holt in San Diego, CA, Garry Murdock, Jr. at Fort Stuart, GA, Deb Chappel (daughter of Phil and Evie DeBolt) at Fort Sill, OK; Matthew Owen (nephew of Kevin Selking) at Camp Legune, NC; Daniel Ulman (grandson of Roger and Fay Koenemann) at Bremerton, WA and Chaplain Daniel Gard, in Louisiana.

Lutheran Youth from the high school in Sheboygan, WI are singing at a concert at Zion in Decatur. Pastor Gadbaw called and asked if we can host some of the high school youth for one night. He is need of five host homes. This is what is involved; the youth will be arriving on March 22 at Zion, Decatur around 4:30 or 5:00 pm. Zion will feed them and they will have their concert, then after the concert will go home with their host family. This would consist of four boys or girls and could have them sleep in two big beds. Then they will need to be at Zion, Decatur at 7:00 am the next morning. They are looking for five homes if possible from Bingen. If you can do this, please call Cheri at the Zion, Decatur at 724-7177.
