Ministry Happenings

The Shared Lutheran Ministry offers a variety of milestone celebrations and fellowship opportunities throughout the year. The Shared Lutheran Ministry proudly recognizes all the events and milestones in the lives of our members: baptisms, first communion, confirmation, and marriage/weddings. Other milestones include graduations (kindergarten, high school, college, etc), 1st day of school, 3rd grade Bibles and more. If you have an important milestone coming up in you or your child's life, feel free to share it with us!
