WELCOME

FIRST TIME GUEST? WE ARE GLAD YOU’RE HERE!

For over 30 years, Preston Meadow Lutheran

Church has been a community of GRACE IN

ACTION, serving the communities of Plano, TX,

and beyond with the light and love of

Jesus. What started as a small gathering in a

family living room has turned into a growing

faith community with ministries throughout

the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and

Haiti. We love to sing in worship and connect

with others to grow in faith. We are a

member church of the Evangelical Lutheran

Church in America.

AUG-SEPT. SNAPSHOT

During the offering, please sign our

“Welcome to our Worship” booklet found at

the end of each pew so we may record your

time with us today. If you are new to our

community, we’d like to know where you

live so we might have the chance to be

neighborly!

An All Church Service Event During Connect Hour
