Is there a way to post a YouTube video on CH and omit the identifiers of its origin for privacy and safety concerns with posting information that might disclose something that someone on-line could utilize by them tracing back to me and my local?

Hypothetical question (kind of), Of the four LCMS congregations in our local area the closest one is almost 20 minutes away but my favorite one is almost 30 minutes away. The pastor at the parish farther away by far gives the best sermons. They are very detailed and often includes parts of the...

I’m really happy for them. It’s been about four years since having a full time pastor. Lucky someone in the congregation had a retired uncle from the military that was affiliated with LCMS and he originally agreed to a two year interment while they searched for a new pastor that turned into four...

ELDoNA=Evangelical Lutheran Dioceses of North America; I’d like to open a discussion concerning it’s history and by extension it’s specific doctrines that differs from other confessional Lutheran synods. My quick research into the subject shows the ELDoNA broke from the LCMS over objective...

My wife went in to our primary care physician for unrelated concerns and he ordered her a MRI. Shockingly they found a brain aneurysm, which have no symptoms prior to rupture. Anyway the amazing thing is they were able to insert a catheter into her upper thigh and repair it with a stint inside...

So I’ve been under employed for about six years now. (Struggling to get 30 hours a week, no raises or benefits) I had an interview today that went great and the manager said he’s recommending me to HR for hire. He said they’d do a background check and then call with an offer. It’s literally...

Philippians 2:12...continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. This scripture verse has always troubled me and can cause me concern and anxiety. I’m particularly interested in the Lutheran perspective but the question is open to all who would like to contribute. Please...

Hi all :wave: Just got a text from my daughter who said she is scheduled to be checked into the hospital today at 11am pst. About 30 minutes from when I'm posting this thread. She was officially due November 16th but we're glad the little guy has stayed put this long. Prayers would be appreciated

It probably seems obvious to some but a while back I realized that the churches that practice sacred space first teach the real presence of Christ in the elements and second closed communion. Starting with whom I think practice the highest level of sacred space in order are; 1st Orthodox 2nd...

Friday night my wife went out of town so I thought I'd catch a Mass at the Cathedral. Well low and behold as I'm sitting there, waiting for the service to start, Fr Joubran comes walking out fully vested. I wasn't fully sure it was him until he spoke because he has a distinctive accent. A...

My ex-brother-in-law had a brain aneurysm yesterday. He's about 55 yo and an all around good guy. He was life flighted in from a neighboring state to our University hospital. Extending prayers out to his wife, three children, grandchildren, extended family and friends. :pray6:

Moved me too. Cut me to my soul.

So this coming Sunday June 4th is Pentecost Sunday! Does your particular congregation or denomination do anything unique to commemorate the occasion? As is typical for many churches our congregation puts out a reminder to wear red to signify the tongues of fire descending upon their heads in...

A little advice and input from my friends at CH. I attend two Lutheran churches most Sundays because the one where my wife and I are members at is a bit liberal for me. It's LCMC-Lutheran congregations in missions for Christ. This association of Lutheran churches broke off from the ELCA over the...

While waiting for Risen to start at the theater they showed the trailer for Young messiah. The trailer really didn't grab my attention so I'll probably wait for the DVD. My thinking is there is only a couple of references in the bible about Jesus' childhood so the film makers are going to...

Anyone going to see the movie RISEN?

I know that Lutherans teach on the doctrine of vocations when in comes to the office of Pastor and that they are to be called by a particular congregation but I was wondering the biblical and historical presidence and references. Especially concerning the consecration of the Eucharist.

Hey everybody my buddy bill1231 invited me so I thought I'd come over and give ya all a shout out!
