St. Andrew Lutheran Church, Farmersville, OhioJanuary 21, 2024Third Sunday after the Epiphany

NOTE: Our Second Reading from First Corinthians urges us to avoid immorality; in modern times, one of the greatest forms of immorality which hurts and harms others is abuse and exploitation of innocent people, especially children. Please visit the following websites or call the following numbers if you suspect someone is being abused, exploited, or trafficked, or to learn more about what human trafficking and child abuse is, and how you can help combat it. Also, if you suspect anyone you know is being abused or trafficked, please **immediately** contact your local law enforcement and/or FBI field office. Together we can carry out God's will for how He wants us to treat each other and end mistreatment and abuse of His children.
