‘Joy:fully Lutheran’ in Tampa, Florida
The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod gathers in convention July 20-25, 2019, in Tampa, Fla., to worship, encourage one another and make decisions that will guide the next three years of our Gospel proclamation around the world.
‘Joy:fully Lutheran’ – Rejoice. Pray. Give thanks. Christ has done it.
Even as our world changes, the Word of God remains the same. The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod proclaims this truth here and throughout the world in mission work, disaster response, universities, seminaries and especially in our congregations.
Joy in a Beleaguered Church
The LCMS might be shrinking and North American culture might be becoming more hostile toward Christianity, but hand-wringing is not a Christian ceremony. The Lord calls us to hopefulness and joy.
Unanimous Support for Disaster Response!
It's not often that the synod in convention approves something unanimously but this year at convention there was overwhelming support and praise for the work of LCMS Disaster Response. Although when you see the stats it's easy to see why. Take a look at the resolution.
