Sermon Values 
At Ebenezer Lutheran Church,   we use three Bible readings each week to explore God's message for contemporary meaning and response. We value Biblical Scholarship and personal insights.  We seek to know God through: logic, relationships, music, the Sacraments of Holy Communion and Baptism, beauty, the cross, and through love.  We trust that God knows us and loves and forgives us while also giving us meaning and purpose in our lives.  We believe it is the faithful response-ability of all humans to care for God's creation and to extend mercy and forgiveness in a spirit of loving service and in the name of Jesus Christ..

 Easter 2005
Easter is a surprise PARTY. Easter is a surprise PARTY, where everyone is invited, yet it’s Jesus who surprises us.
