As part of our Prayer Triad we pray for Luther Valley Lutheran Church in Beloit; St. John's Lutheran Church in Mazomanie and Apple Grove Lutheran Church in Argyle.  May they be empowered by God's Spirit to bear witness to God's love in Jesus in creative, life-giving ministries in Beloit, Mazomanie and Argyle.  Luther Valley seeks God's continuing strength and guidance as we grow toward the future.

As part of our Prayer Triad we pray for Calvary Lutheran Church in Beloit; St. John's Lutheran Church in Reedsburg and Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church in Monroe.  May they be empowered by God's Spirit to bear witness to God's love in Jesus in creative, life-giving ministries in Beloit, Reedsburg and Monroe.  Calvary prays for their ongoing Latino ministry as well as their exploration of cooperative ministry with Atonement and Pella.  Grace Evangelical prays for the visioning process as it begins and for continued growth in understanding biblical stewardship practices.
