What Does it Mean to Be and ELCA Lutheran? Why Should Anyone Care?

Have you ever wondered:
• Why our church ordains women, but so many other churches do not?
• Why we celebrate two sacraments (Baptism and Holy Communion) while our Catholic brothers and sisters celebrate seven?
• Why our church emphasizes grace while it seems so many others emphasize judgment?
• How to answer the question, “Are you saved?”
• As a Lutheran, how to name Jesus as your Lord and savior?
Let’s explore these and other questions of life and faith as we gather with Pastor Smith on Monday evenings and answer together what it means to be an ELCA Lutheran and why we should care.
