We have not been using names during our prayers for online worship for reasons of privacy and will continue that policy.
However, now that we are back in person and moving toward more normal times, we will begin including names in our prayers for in person worship.
Our old list is seriously out of date, so if you have someone to include in our in person prayers, please notify the church office info@ulctempe.org or 480.967.3543. Thank you!
Esther posted this past week on Facebook, “I got this in the mail yesterday I am humble and proud to be part of the ELCA Asian Lutheran Witness in America!”
We celebrate with Esther on her accomplishments. You may have also seen Esther on our weekly online worship services. Esther is a former member and serves as our Lector and Worship Assistant on many of the online worship services.
