Immanuel Family: One Simple Ask
Martin Luther School has been a ministry of our congregation since 1953. Come eat, and invite one neighbor or coworker who has never been inside our building. A plate of spaghetti is an easy first visit. Order lunch for your workplace, or share the school’s post on Facebook.
