Welcome to worship here at St. Olaf on this Reformation Sunday – we are glad you
have joined us for worship! Rooted in the past and growing into the future, the
church must always be reformed in order to live out the love of Christ in an ever
changing world. Today we rejoice with Joseph Alvarez III, Gavin Blow, Rachel
Horrell, Ashton Kuker, Brentley Osorio, Krewe Seltz, Isabelle Stickrod, and Rylan
Trushcheff as they make confirmation of their Christian faith through the rite of
Affirmation of Baptism. We celebrate the good news of God’s grace, that Jesus
Christ sets us free every day to do this life transforming work. Trusting in the
freedom given to us in baptism, we pray for the church, that Christians will unite
more fully in worship and mission.
