Walk through the Ministry Fair in the Social Hall, and review the opportunities to serve at Salem Lutheran Church and select those that inspire or interest you. We are called to love, not just with our words but also with our whol lives. By using our time and talents to love GOd and our neighbor we love our neighbors as ourselves through Salem’s ministry opportunities.
Through the Cross
Join us at Salem for a 40 day journey that opens us to a deeper understanding of what Jesus has done and continues to do among us beginning on Ash Wednesday, March 6. Jesus is our hope and divine response to the world’s greatest need. He meets us most clearly and most profoundly through the cross.
