Welcome to Saint James Lutheran

Through the Gospel, Jesus rescued us from sin and death and gave us a new life anchored in His grace. Because of this gift, the way we live naturally reflects Christ to those around us—our families, neighbors, and community. In 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10, Paul commends a church whose faith, love, and hope served as an inspiring model for everyone around them. Join us as we explore how God’s grace shapes our daily lives into a pattern of hope and love for others to see.

Liturgist and Preacher: Dr. George Gude; Reader: Devin Brakenhoff and Dr. George Gude

Death is a scary reality, and many parents struggle with when to talk to their kids about it. Should we wait until a loved one dies before talking about it? Or should we prepare our kids by talking about it in advance? In this episode of Craving Answers, Craving God, Chuck and Aaron discuss how Christianity’s unique and redemptive perspective on death gives us a way forward in navigating the topic of death with our children.
