Welcome to St. Thomas Lutheran Eastpointe

O Lord, our heavenly Father, almighty and everlasting God, You have safely brought us to the beginning of this day. Defend us in the same with Your mighty power and grant that this day we fall into no sin, neither run into any kind of danger, but that all our doings, being ordered by Your governance, be righteous in Your sight; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

For the flowers in our yard this summer we opted to try synthetic ones instead of the live varieties.  Our primary reasoning was around the fact that we anticipated being away from our condo more than usual this summer which would bring more complications than usual in the watering department.  Though our neighbors (who have incredible green thumbs) are always more than willing to cover for us when we are gone, it just seemed like more than we wanted to ask this summer.
