Services held in Union and Wallowa counties

NORTHEAST OREGON — Members of the Faith Lutheran Church congregations will meet for worship at 10 a.m. in La Grande and 2 p.m. in Enterprise on Sunday, Jan. 28

The sermon at both services will expound on Jesus’ teaching that caused unclean spirits to submit to his word. Jesus rebuked an unclean spirit with “Be silent, and come out of him!” (Mark 1:25-26). Christians recognize the power of God’s word for removal of that which is unclean and for salvation: “For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes” (Romans 1:16).

Potluck follows worship

LA GRANDE — The La Grande United Methodist Church will worship Sunday, Jan. 28, at 11 a.m. The sermon, based on Mark 1:21-28, is titled, “Who’s in Charge?” A potluck follows the service.

Ward conferences planned

NORTHEAST OREGON — Ward conferences will be held Sunday, Jan. 28, among some of the region’s Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints congregations.

At all other locations, a member of the Stake High Council will speak on the 2024 youth theme: “We are Disciples of Jesus Christ.” Auxiliary group meetings will be held during the second hour of services.

The “Come, Follow Me” lesson for the week of Jan. 22 is based on 1 Nephi 11-15, from the Book of Mormon. In these chapters Nephi relates the visions he saw as he sought his own witness of things prophesied by his father, Lehi.
