Sometimes, a backseat driver is exactly what you need.

When we see someone heading toward trouble, caring about them means speaking up. This weekend, we’ll look at Ezekiel 33 and what it means to be our brother’s keeper, pointing others back to the God who wants to rescue, not condemn.

Join us at Open Bible Lutheran Church:
Saturday, Sept. 5 at 4 p.m.
Sunday, Sept. 6 at 9:30 a.m.

Everyone is welcome!
