St. Joseph the Worker

This week, the Sanctuary Lamp burns for our Confirmandi by the Parish Family.

 

Altar Flowers are in memory of Joseph & Mary Schlueter & David Rohrig by Gerry & Kim Schlueter.

 

St. Joseph the Worker’s inaugural Gala was a memorable evening of fellowship and fundraising. Fr. Julius, on behalf of the Parish, deeply appreciates Eileen Karnes & Kim Ferriter and the many volunteers who generously shared their time and talents, businesses, families, friends, and neighbors who donated to our Silent Auction, and everyone who attended. Together, we made this first Gala a resounding success! We are grateful to Bishop Beckman who sent a welcome video!

Gala Volunteers - Please check your email and kindly RSVP to the Volunteer appreciation party scheduled for Wednesday, April 22 at 5:30PM. We look forward to celebrating our Gala success together!

Journey Through the Story of Salvation 

With Deacon Stone

​

Discover God’s Plan from Genesis to the Birth of the Church

​

Beginning Monday, May 4 • 7:00 PM • Parish Hall

​

Have you ever wondered how the whole Bible fits together?

Why the stories of Adam, Abraham, Moses, and David matter to your life today?  How everything in Scripture ultimately points to Jesus Christ and His Church?

Join us for an engaging journey through the story of God’s plan for humanity—from the creation of the world to the establishment of the New Covenant Church.

This course will explore:

• How the events of the Bible unfold through real history

• The people and covenants that prepared the world for Christ

• How the Old Testament points forward to the New

• What the story of salvation means for us today

Each session combines Scripture, history, and discussion to help you see the Bible as one unified story of God’s love and redemption.

Whether you know the Bible well or are just beginning, this study will help you see Scripture in a whole new way.

 

All are welcome. Bring a Bible and come ready to discover the story God has been telling since the beginning.
