LWML 2018 Prayer Service Now Available
The LWML 2018 Prayer Service is now available free online. Written by 2013–2017 LWML Pastoral Counselor Rev. Dr. Robert Roegner, the service is based on 1 Peter 2:9–12.
Many factors come to mind when we think about our identity, but in his first letter, Peter focuses in on what's most important: our standing in the eyes of God or our place in His kingdom.
Available items include a script, cover/worship folder artwork, and PowerPoint slides. Learn More Here
