Russian Celebration of 500 -- a Church give back. . .

Russia is returning ownership of St. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Moscow to the Russian Evangelical Lutheran Church. The handover is part of festivities marking the 500th anniversary of the Reformation.

The Window

This is the Means of Grace Window that is above the altar of Grace Lutheran Church where I serve. It reminds us of the keys (confession and absolution), the wheat(the bread which is the Body of Christ), the cup (which is His Blood), the Word (Scripture), and the Pastoral Office (the red stole). In this one wonderful window we see the treasures of the Church in the Word and Sacraments and I love that it is available for all to see. I realize that this image has been stolen all over the internet but it is a real window, a copyrighted image, belonging to Grace Lutheran Church, Clarksville, Tennessee, which has kindly allowed my use of it...
