I remember my baptism at age eleven. <br /><br />The congregation in which I grew up in Yuma, Arizona, was, at the time, very traditional. It was setting one, LBW every Sunday, Holy Communion every Sunday (I did not know it was possible to be Lutheran and not celebrate the Eucharist every week and did not find out this unfortunate practice until college), chanted liturgy and psalms and pastor in full vestments even in the desert. By all of the church growth gurus, youth should have been turned off by all of this; yet, two pastors have come from this congregation from my generation. What was different was that we were blessed with a pastor who didn't try to patronize us youth simply to get our rumps in the church door, but actually cared about why coming in the door was important. He was patient with us and had high expectations of us as confirmation students. He baptized me, instructed me in First Communion, instructed me in confirmation and preach at my ordination service. I was truly blessed by his presence and I only hope I do half as good a job.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13013921386098199810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-10742369932125764852010-12-27T17:25:48.579-06:002010-12-27T17:25:48.579-06:00"Youth Ministry" in the LCMS is at

All Night Lock-Ins,<br />Video Scavenger Hunts, Fund Raisers<br />for National Youth Gatherings, and<br />tough competition from Young Life<br />groups in local High Schools has taken its toll. One way to meet the<br />spiritual needs of our youth would be<br />mid-week evening worship followed by<br />a Bible study. Both of these could<br />be geared to youth and led by the<br />pastor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-58785627450173092522010-12-27T16:26:17.869-06:002010-12-27T16:26:17.869-06:00The "Worship Wars" in Protestant

During the first decade of<br />the 2lst century there was a move<br />to authentic worship centered around<br />authentic preaching. Those Lutheran<br />parishes with pastors who preach<br />both law and gospel in well-prepared<br />Biblical and Christ-centered sermons<br />will be blessed by the Holy Spirit.<br />Those with a weekly Eucharist on <br />Sundays will reach those who hunger<br />for the Sacrament every Sunday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
