‘Together with all creatures’

I would like to thank Dr. Arand for his wonderful article “Together with All Creatures” in the April issue of The Lutheran Witness. One of my favorite hymns from my childhood in England is “All Things Bright and Beautiful” by Cecil Alexander. I thought of the hymn as I read the article: All things bright

The answer is no

This letter is a response to “Party Time?” in the Family Counselor section of the April Lutheran Witness. The answer to the son should have been an emphatic NO in large print. Just to be sure I was rational in my thinking, I called the local police department and also the local Alcohol Information Center

Something overlooked

Thank you for your April focus on the colleges and universities of the Concordia University System, “What’s New at Our Concordias?” However, some of the programs offered at Concordia University Texas were not mentioned.

Uncovering History

In addition to preaching and teaching matters of faith and life on the basis of God’s Holy Word, pastors are called to be a part of the lives of people in good times and bad, in happy times and sad.

Making music

I can’t remember an issue of The Lutheran Witness I’ve enjoyed as much as your March 2009 offering. I grew up in the WELS and joined the LCMS as a young adult. I’ve been active in church music in some form for my entire ministry. I’m in the music ministry today because my fifth-grade teacher

Moved to tears

I had to e-mail you immediately after reading Susan Rosselli’s March Lifeline story, “God Hears, God Cares, God Moves.” I was moved to tears upon reading about her struggle to secure the basics for her and her then 9-year-old daughter during a difficult time in their lives. It was such an unbelievably compelling article to
