My wife and I read with much interest the article by Derek Roberts. We agree with Pastor Roberts that the danger in technology is focusing on the medium instead of the message. Traditional worship, we feel, separates us from the things of this world and focuses on the joy of worshiping our Lord and Savior, …
Rev. Roberts (February) threw out the bogeyman that new technology may threaten to make our worship entertainment.

I was terribly disappointed at what appeared (by Synod convention resolution) in the January Witness. I believe this resolution does a great disserve to the deceased workers of Synod, as well as their families. To allow only two lines for their “In Memoriam” is a shame.

Third-generation candy store owner Devon Nau opens up on everything from fudge to faith.
Sin makes life messy and dirty. But it is Christ’s resurrection that cleanses, renews and restores us!
