Thank you for serving in worship. Your faithfulness and heart for God help create a space where His presence is felt. Our Sundays are truly blessed because of servants like you.

This summer let’s celebrate our baptism using the waters of Alaska! Grab a container from church and collect water from your travels: rivers, lakes, harbors, or the ocean. Label it with your name and location, then return it to Joy. We’ll filter it and, in the fall, pour each one into our baptismal font—reminding us that though we come from many places and stories, we are one in Christ. Let’s make a splash of connection and faith this summer!

Pick up your “little Jesus” figurine at Joy and take him along on all your summer adventures! Each Wednesday, beginning on May 28th, Joy Lutheran will post a fun photo of Jesus somewhere new on our Facebook page—and we want to see where he’s gone with you too! Whether you’re camping, fishing, hiking, working, or just relaxing, snap a photo with Jesus and share it in the comment section on our post. If you don’t have a Facebook account, text or email us your photo and we’ll share it. It’s a fun way to stay connected and remember Jesus is with us everywhere we go! Be sure to like our Facebook page and follow along this summer.

We invite you to support the revitalization of our Center by donating age-appropriate, engaging toys from our Amazon Wishlist.

Monetary contributions are also greatly appreciated and help us create a more enriching environment for the children. 

  Questions can be directed to Scooter Bentson.

Thank you for your consideration.

Open on the first Sunday of each month 1-3pm.

We are currently in need of boys and girls size 5 (pants and shirts)  Thank you all for your donations and help serving our community in this way, you are a huge part of the success of our ministry. 

Do you enjoy knitting or crocheting? Come be part of a welcoming group that meets on the 2nd Wednesday of each month to create cozy cold-weather gear and heartfelt prayer shawls for those in need.

We gather once a month at the church (attendance is flexible!) to share fellowship, lift each other up in prayer, and use our hands to bring comfort and warmth to our community. Whether you're an experienced crafter or just curious, there’s a place for you here.

Contact Laura R. for more information—we’d love to have you join us!

Our work group will take a vacation in July; look for us again August 9. For more information, please contact Nancy Hemsath. Happy Summer!

Join us right after worship for a laid-back, potluck-style brunch. Bring a dish if you’d like—or just bring yourself! There’ll be plenty of good food and great company. Everyone’s welcome, so come hang out and enjoy some tasty bites with us!
