Saturday, Nov. 11, 2023, Veterans’ Day– Almighty God, Father, Son and Spirit, we praise you for bringing us into your family in our baptisms. Let the fruit of righteousness of Your people shine forth in the darkness of our community. Let us pledge and work together to provide needed facilities to further the spread of Your Gospel to all who need the Good News of salvation and grant a continued increase in the church through proclamation of Your Word and faithful administration of Your Sacraments. We pray fervently for the lost and ask for boldness as Your servants, that many will hear and believe. All this we ask through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
