“I have been a member of the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod my entire life. I have seen many changes. Change is good when you accept the challenges, go with the flow, and move forward with God's plan to touch and reach people with his word. It can be sad to leave behind traditions and old ways that are familiar and a comfort to us. Even though music, hymnals, fashion, groups, activities, and decor continually changes; I am assured that the foundation of the church will not change, the inerrant Word of God.”

For You, O Lord, are my hope, my trust, O Lord, from my youth. Psalm 71:5
