find support
There are times in life when obstacles are thrown in our path. During these times, it’s important to lean into our faith in God and reach out to others for help, support and prayer to get us through.
Hales Corners Lutheran offers many groups and resources to assist you through those trials. For more information on these lay person-led groups, please contact the church office at 414-529-6700, or use the contact information listed for the group.
