Lutheran Mission Alliance

*Lutheran Mission Alliance* voted to fund two missions with grants each month: Our Redeemer, Palacios, TX at $500 and Living Savior, Montgomery, TX with $300. These missions are traditional, liturgical and truly Lutheran. They will emphasis the Bible in preaching; hymns from the hymnal; thorough Catechism instruction for new members and close(d) communion. Like your grandfather's church, but with air conditioning. This is a step of faith for this new mission organization, so your support is needed. Pray and give for these missions.

Lutheran Mission Alliance continues to progress.   We desire your continued interest in and support for Confessional, liturgical, catechetical churches and missions to whom we can transfer members without exposing them to the shock of so called contemporary worship, entertainment services and 8 hour instruction classes to learn about inerrant Scriptures, creation in six days, headship of men, two natures in Christ, Justification by Grace, Spirit given faith, Baptismal gifts and the Real Presence of Christ's body and blood in the Sacrament of the Altar.
 

The First Sunday in Advent considers the coming of Christ to judge the world and what He has done to "bring life and immortality to light." Montgomery Lutheran Church on that day conducted its first service with over 130 in attendance. People from the surrounding congregations and many local residents heard a Christ-centered sermon, sang from a Lutheran Hymnal and learned from the Bible in Sunday School. There were no Country Western or Rock bands. No clowns. No dramas about sex. It was the Christian faith in a dignified and reverent atmosphere. You would feel "back home again" there. Lutheran Mission Alliance gladly supports this new mission in Montgomery, TX. You can help start and support churches that look, sound and act as Lutherans by becoming a member of LMA.... or better having your congregation become a member. www.lutheranmissionalliance.org

Lutheran Mission Alliance seeks to start and assist mission congregation that will hold fast to the traditional, liturgical, sacramental and catechetical ways to grow a church of people who are dedicated Christians, not just surface attenders as so many megachurches do.   One of the first and biggest modern Church Growth advocates, Bill Hybels, confesses that their church draws big audiences, but does not grow their spiritual, faith life.  Mongomery Lutheran Mission began on Dec. 2 with 132 in attendance. The second Sunday had 60.  At least 20% said they had no church home.  While only a small part of this mission, LMA is supporting LMC with prayers and a small gift of funds.  LMA would like to increase this amount depending on gifts and offerings.  Will you help? www.lutheranmissionalliance.org

Lutheran Mission Alliance is a group of nineteen congregations in the style of "your grandfather's church," but with air conditioning and computers. LMA seeks to support and encourage congregations to preserve the liturgies, hymns and, above all, the doctrinal heritage of the Evangelical Lutheran Church.  We believe it was good that wherever you went to a Lutheran Church, you would recognize it as such and be able to worship and fellowship reverently and faithfully.  LMA would like to have a traditional Lutheran Church in every town and city in the country.  Help us.  www.lutheranmissionalliance.org
 

While a number of contemporary worship churches seem to be facing financial difficulties and dropping attendance, Living Savior in Montgomery TX is steadily growing.  This goes against the mainline denomination's philosophy that only contemporary worship will draw people.  This congregation with a bit of help from Lutheran Mission Alliance is almost self-sufficient.  The Word works.  All glory to God.  Do you have an area that needs an old fashioned Lutheran Church?  Contact us. www.lutheranmissionalliance.org
