What does my Neighbor Believe?
Join us Monday nights at 6:30pm or Thursday mornings at 10:30am, starting on January 28, 2019, at Mindoro Lutheran to learn what it is that our neighbors believe. We will spend several weeks looking at what different groups of believers believe, the ways they are similar and different from our own understanding of faith. This will be a very brief look into the theological understandings of our neighbors with respect. You are invited to look deeper into any or all of the areas of belief to better understand why it is a particular group holds certain beliefs. Please see the schedule below for dates and times.
An Invitation: Read The Bible In A Year
Dear friends,
I invite you to join me as we Read the Bible in a Year in 2019.
Don’t be afraid – we have no rules, no tests and no punishment for skipping, forgetting or reading ahead! At the bottom of this email you will find a link to a Read the Bible in a Year program. On this link all you have to do is choose the bible version that you want to use (I chose New Revised Standard – like we read from every Sunday in worship) and then click on the reading for each day and it will direct you to the reading. No hunting through your bible, no page markers – just boom – it’s there!
However, if you want to use your own favorite bible and mark or underline, use a new bookmark and do your readings – you can still use the link or you can pick up a paper copy of the year in reading at church.
Please join me as we Read the Bible in a Year:

Books to Support the Lutheran Church of Peru
Our companion church, La Iglesia Luterana del Perú (IL-P) works to educate members and others in the Lutheran faith. IL-P leaders have asked if we might help them with the purchase of books. Please consider a gift to support this request, either personally or as a Sunday School, women's group or congregation. We have sent samples of books in Spanish from Augsburg Fortress to IL-P and they have said they are excited about the possibility of putting them all to use. Please make checks to “La Crosse Area Synod” marked “Books for Peru”. ¡Gracias!

Partners in Ministry
We are blessed by the support we receive from more than 800 Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) congregations throughout Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. Many congregations work with us to change lives by “adopting” a program or service, conducting service projects to support a specific program, hosting Shared Ministry events, providing financial support, referring individuals to our services, and keeping our organization in their prayers. |
