New Member Orientation

Thurs, Sept 8th ~7pm
Interested in making a formal commitment to support the work that God is doing here at Luther?  Want to know more about the ministries this community participates in, and hear how you're invited? 

There will be a new member's orientation on Thursday, September 8th from 7-8:45pm here at Luther Memorial for those people interested in making a more formal commitment to engaging this community. 

At the orientation we'll discuss Lutheranism (history, creeds, sacraments), scripture (interpretations and views), and ministries (how LMC engages the community for Christ).  There'll also be time for plenty of questions.  To indicate your attendance email or call the church office (773.539.3018; office.luther@gmail.com), or contact Pr. Tim directly (pastortimbrown@gmail.com).
