<p>July 11, 2023 Dear Friends, I don’t mean, of course, that church is going on vacation. But what do you think about church while you’re on vacation?

<p>June 27, 2023 Dear friends, Here’s the question: “Is it difficult to invite people to church? If so, why? And what can be done to make it easier?” Last week, I suggested that it’s difficult because we often think of church as ordinary and unnecessary. It would be easier for<span class="more-button"><a href="https://www.concordialcms.com/2023/06/27/extending-the-invitation-ii/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text">Extending the invitation, II</

<p>June 20, 2023 Dear friends, I’m interested in hearing from you on this one. Shoot me a reply to this e-mail, or ponder it and tell me what you think next time you’re here at church.

<p>June 6, 2023 I have often thought about (and maybe you’ve heard me mention) the foresight required to build our church building just over 100 years ago. Folks now long gone were thinking about generations to come when they planned and constructed the building that still stands today.
