LCMS SET APART TO SERVE YOUTH SURVEY: The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod is asking the youth of our Synod to help us improve Set Apart to Serve, the LCMS church worker formation initiative. The survey is open to seventh-graders through recent high school graduates. All responses are anonymous and confidential. It only takes about 5-10 minutes to complete and the questions are very simple multiple choice. Please click on one of the following links, online survey or lcms.org/set-apart-to-serve-youth-survey to participate. Your input would be greatly appreciated as we continue to form “Laborers for the Harvest.” **Please note that Concordia Ann Arbor is listed as a possible choice on the survey for church work programs and that is incorrect. They no longer offer church work programs. Any of the other universities are fine choices.**
Dear Faith family,
Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity in celebrating my 40 years of ministry. It is a great gift to be able to serve Jesus every day in my work. I love talking about what He has done for me and how much He loves all of us. I pray that I allow His light to shine through me for the rest of my life. Love in Jesus, Cindy LaFontaine
