Many thanks to all who attended the March for Life in Des Moines on Sat June 20th, and to Trinity Lutheran in Des Moines for hosting the pre-march LCMS event prior to the march at the Iowa Capitol.

Our key speaker was Martin Cannon, Senior Counsel at the Thomas More Society. He is a prominent Nebraska-based attorney who has dedicated over three decades to defending life, family, and pro-life causes. He spoke on the laws that are working to stop abortion and promote life.

Come join us at Matins service each week! Wednesdays at 9:00am @ Zion Lutheran in Ayrshire. Thursdays at 9:00am @ Trinity Lutheran in Mallard.

Matins is a historic, sung morning prayer service, emphasizing scripture, psalmody, and prayer. It centers on praising God at the start of the day through an opening versicle ("O Lord, open my lips"), Psalms, an office hymn, scripture readings, and canticles. The service is about a 1/2 hour. All are welcome to join us!

Alleluia! Christ is risen! He is our great High Priest. The body of Jesus is not dead, for in His Body is the Life which is the light of men. The chains of death could not hold Him. The Scriptures all prophesy that the Christ must suffer and die, but on the third day rise. Alleluia! It is the third day! He is risen! Here in our worship is where our High Priest is available to us. Here is where He opens His heavenly tabernacle to us. He is risen from the dead. His tomb has become our tomb, and by His resurrection, we are made fit to enter into the heavenly gates to worship Him unto ages of ages! Happy Easter!

Jesus, The True High Priest
