What’s a Single Mother to Do?
Today, a growing number of families are without a “father figure” in the home. So, what’s a single mother to do?
The Magazine
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
My Father’s Vineyard
Cindy Newkirk found a way to combine her callings in the vineyard and in the Scriptures.
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. This academic year, Concordia University Texas began offering pre-nursing courses with acceptance of junior-level students to the professional nursing courses of
Uncovering History
A Lutheran pastor’s Civil War diaries spotlight an “amazing story” and an enduring ministry.
Useful information
Thank you so very much for the informative and inspiring article about Bethlehem in the February Lutheran Witness. My husband took a vacation/tour to Israel some 16 years ago, and [we] are hoping to enrich our grandchildren’s lives with a visit in the near future, but [we] were surprised to read of all of the
Lutheran Witness: June/July 2009
In many ways, this is a “family” issue. Our cover story focuses on fathers and sons. A second story highlights a

among us.
Gratitude for Our Pastors
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
A winsome presence
I was very heartened by Diane Strzelecki’s March article about LCMS Lutherans at Harvard. My own time at Yale Divinity School confirmed a similar situation there: It, too, is “not the hotbed of pagan activity” that many believe it to be. LCMS students at Yale (there were five LCMS students in the divinity school alone
