I have been blessed to have been raised in a strong Lutheran family! I grew up volunteering in my church, helping with the church circle ladies, serving funerals and weddings in the kitchen and performing special music. My best childhood memories are of me with the "grand ladies" of the church washing dishes and folding bulletins while drinking lots of coffee and salad luncheons! John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
