I was supposed to teach today, but I was informed nobody was going to class today. I caught the 8:00am service again at Lutheran Church and School of Messiah in Grand Junction.
A skip through the radio dial at 7:30 caught the Lutheran Hour with a men’s choir singing “Salvation Unto Has Come.” Not a [...]
I attended the 8:00 traditional worship service at Lutheran Church and School of Messiah in Grand Junction. Associate Pastor Timothy Storck was the liturgist, and Pastor Gary Buss preached the sermon.
Pastor Storck officiated over the baptism of two children before moving to LSB Divine Service I, with Holy Communion. The hymns were:

Wednesday evening I was again able to visit St. Paul’s in Woodland, CA. Dinner was a nice white bean and ham soup with rolls.
Vespers was the order of the evening, spoken because again we were short a couple of organists. The pianist played three hymns pretty well, and I was able to sing the [...]
When I’m on the road, Lent is great, because sometimes I don’t get to go to church on Sunday and can go on Wednesday night. Upon scouring the web sites of four churches in the Sacramento area and St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Woodland, St. Paul’s seemed to be the best place to go.
