 Hello, welcome to Morning Watch for Wednesday, July 10th, 2024. Grace to you and peace from God our Creator through Christ our Savior by the Holy Spirit. My name is Reverend Julie Carlson, and I currently serve as the pastor of Fox Home Lutheran and Vuku Lutheran. It is my great pleasure to be with you here this morning. Today's broadcast is sponsored in honor of the First Lutheran Church Mission Endowment Fund, so we extend our thanks to you.
