Worship

English Lutheran Church, along with other Lutheran congregations from across the nation, is participating in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) World Hunger Good Gifts 'Buck-a-Chick' program this Lent, according to Kevin Mohr, pastor.

"Instead of purchasing commercial greeting cards, for a one dollar donation, you can receive and decorate a greeting card, created by Connie Maroscher of English Lutheran," he said.

Emmanuel United Church of Christ will hold its annual spring fish fry from 4 to 7 p.m., Friday, April 8, at the church at 8375 Phillips Road.

Tickets are $7 for adults and $3.50 for youth under 11.

Menu consists of regular home cooked meal including fish, salads, and desserts.

All proceeds will go to Stacy, Sarah, and Shane Combs to assist their family following the recent Shawn Combs.

St. John Mennonite Church, Pandora, will offer a five-week study series with the intent of discovering how God has created each person as a unique individual.
