News from Our Redeemer – Florence

Our Redeemer in Florence, Alabama, completed the 2016-2017 weekly Bible study session on May 2. The topics studied in this session were the Gospel of Luke, the book of Acts, the 12 minor prophets, and short resumes of each of the apostles. Regular attendees included four LCMS lay people, two LCMS pastors, one Roman Catholic, two United Methodists, one LCMC member, one Episcopalian, one Chinese Christian, and one unchurched person who attended most of the sessions and who was baptized at the end of April. The session was led by Betty and Tony Mabrey, and they look forward to a new class in the fall.

Our Very Own Betty Crocker

The spirit at Faith Lutheran Church in Shreveport, LA, is shown in many ways. One of those ways is the blessing of a nutritious continental breakfast after Sunday school, made by Jackie Dawson. We salute her for taking on this mission even with health issues. We call Jackie “Betty Crocker” because she sometimes brings food she just got out of the oven. Faith thanks Jackie for her service!
