 Why Sweden?
I am going to Sweden on Sunday 3 August. Why? To deliver a paper to the North European Luther Academy. Sounds deep? Well, it is and it isn't. The academic part of this event is challenging and exciting. However, the best part of the meeting will be to visit with and encourage dear fellow believers and faithful Lutheran confessors living in a challenging and sometimes oppressive church context in Scandinavia and Finland. It will give me an opportunity to pray with them and encourage their faithful confession. Paul did exactly that in his apostolic ministry: "Therefore encourage one another with these words" (1Thess 4:18).

Replacement of Paraments
We are seeking to replace all of our paraments starting with our Advent Paraments this fall. Our paraments are around 40-50 years old and are starting to show their age. In particular, our Advent paraments are currently blue and we are replacing them with the more traditional violet paraments. We hope to order the Advent paraments by the end of September 2014 as they require about 8 weeks to be made and Advent will be here before we know it. Our goal is $8,000 to replace the full Advent set of chasuble, stoles, altar paraments, the veil, the burse, and 2 banners. If you can help with reaching our goal, please write your checks to MLC with the memo line "Advent Paraments" or if you have any questions, please contact Martha Fredenburg at: [email protected].
