A personal note - finding a new church

We have spent the summer looking for a different church. The search is over. Our journey took us on a tour of the contemporary Lutheran church scene. We learned that the practice of Lutheranism is observed in a variety of ways. We found that the art and practice of preaching is doing very well.

It was the preacher and the hymn book that brought us to our current destination. We are grateful to all who offered us encouragement during this transitional period.
