SCHOOL SUPPLIES COLLECTION: It is time for our annual collection benefitting the LaVega Primary and Elementary schools for the 2026-2027 school year. A complete list items needed can be found at the Sanctuary and Sunday School entrances. Please feel free to help with these needs as you are able. Please bring your donations between Sunday, August 2, and Sunday, August 9. They will be delivered to the schools on August 10. If anyone is interested in applying for a Thrivent Action Team to purchase these items, we would ask that you only order children’s t-shirts and those be donated as well. If you need help applying for an action team or have questions on this process, please call the church office (254) 799-3211. Please pray for the students, teachers, and staff as they prepare for a new school year.
THE 69TH REGULAR CONVENTION OF THE LUTHERAN CHURCH—MISSOURI SYNOD, scheduled for July 18–23, 2026, at the Phoenix Convention Center in downtown Phoenix, Arizona. This gathering brings together delegates, clergy, and members from across the Synod for worship, fellowship, and governance. The convention theme is “Christ Is Risen Indeed,” based on 1 Corinthians 15:20–22: “But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.” This theme emphasizes the resurrection of Christ and its implications for faith and doctrine. At the convention, delegates will discuss and vote on major issues — such as how and where our Synod should educate its pastors; how we should define “Lutheran identity” as we seek unity in it; how we should respond to issues such as AI, racism, in-vitro fertilization, cohabitation and more; how we should forge together as a church body in a time of declining membership; how we should best exercise ecclesiastical supervision over our clergy and handle disputes; and much more (taken from The Lutheran Witness, May 2026). Please pray for the voting delegates of our Synod as they meet and prayerfully consider the matters that affect our Lutheran church body.
