HAPPY 175th BIRTHDAY, LCMS!
The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) believes, teaches and confesses faith in Jesus Christ as taught in the Scriptures and Lutheran Confessions. For 175 years, the Holy Spirit has kept us in the one true faith and still continues to gather sinners into the Holy Christian Church by grace through faith — all on account of Christ. As we give thanks for our Synod’s founding on April 26, 1847, we rejoice in the 175th-anniversary theme, “Only Jesus: No Other Name,” based on Acts 4:12. Until Jesus comes, the LCMS will continue to trust in, teach and preach Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Check out the RESOURCES your congregation can use to celebrate this monumental event!

Faithful stewardship of your estate means keeping up with changes in the world and in your personal life and making sure that your plans are up to date. Laws can change over time. You also may have moved from one state to another since the last time you created a plan. Powers you grant through a Power of Attorney document may be different now than fifteen years ago. Your attorney needs to review your plan. Your LCMS Foundation Gift Planning Counselor can get you ready for that visit by getting you organized and documenting your current situation and wishes. Contact Eileen Fitzenreiter at Eileen.Fitzenreiter@lfnd.org or 419-822-6461. | | | |
