Meal at 5:30 pm, Program 6:30-8 pm
As Grace Lutheran moves into this time of Pastoral transition, we need to consider who we are, what is important, and how we can hear God’s voice in our hopes and dreams. We need your input and ideas.

Interim Pastor, Gary Brandenburg

You will have an opportunity to meet our Interim Pastor, Gary Brandenburg, and hear how he will lead Grace through this intentional “in between” time as we prepare to call a new pastor.
A meal will be provided at no cost. Our Church Council will help guide us through this interesting faith-filled evening.
Everyone is encouraged to come for:
Food + Fun + Fellowship + Faith Activities

There will be no 5:00 pm worship on Saturday, September 14, due to the Fall Ride (Harley) weekend. There will be a 9:00 am worship on Sunday that weekend.

This is a Christian musical that has been done for 15+ years by Zion Lutheran Church in Aniwa. It has been well received and people from Wausau to Minocqua participate in the 30+ voice choir and as actors. In recent years it has been held in other places to reach more people.

This is the first time the event will be hosted in Tomahawk. Hosting This Christian musical tells the story of Jesus’ death and resurrection. The promotion will be a way of inviting all people to hear this story. The program will list the time of worship for Holy Week and Easter Sunday at Grace Lutheran Church (ELCA), St. Mary’s Catholic Church and St. Paul’s Lutheran Church (LC-MS). This united effort will emphasize our congregations commonality in our faith in and proclamation of Jesus.
