Be Part of Renewing the Church!

From LifeDate – Summer 2008.

Be Part of Renewing the Church!

by Rev. Dr. James I. Lamb

Do you want to be part of something that will impact Lutheran congregations with regard to the life issues in a way never done before?

Do you want to be part of something that will renew the congregation’s responsibility to address the life issues?

Do you want to be part of something that will renew the relevance of the Gospel as it applies to these issues?

Do you want to be part of something that renews and focuses resources to help and equip congregations as never before?

Help launch Renewal For Life!

It’s that time of year when we give people an opportunity to express their commitment to Lutherans For Life by considering either Annual or Sponsor membership.

Members receive:

a membership card,

free materials twice a year,

a discount on our national conference,

and an opportunity to support a local LFL chapter and/or state affiliate through our remittance program.

If you choose to be a Sponsor member, where you give a gift each month, you will also receive a monthly letter from me with some devotional thoughts and updates on what’s happening at the National Life Center. As either Annual or Sponsor members, you’ll be part of a renewal process!

Renewal For Life is LFL’s initiative to renew the 3 R’s—Responsibility, Relevancy, and Resources. (See page 22 for an update on the pilot workshop.) Your membership will help us renew within Lutheran congregations the responsibility they have to address the life issues. You will help us renew for them the relevancy of the Gospel of Jesus Christ as it speaks to the life issues. You will help us expand the amount of resources LFL provides to equip congregations to assume their responsibility and apply the Gospel to these issues. This is a new and exciting outreach effort and we need your help to make it happen!

So please take the time to consider how you can best help LFL accomplish this mission. By the grace of God and the support of His faithful people, we will continue sharing God’s For Life message and impacting Lutheran congregations in a whole new way!

Here are several ways to become a member:

Use the LifeDate reply envelope.
Join online at our web site.
Call in your credit card contribution to 888-364-LIFE.

If you would rather not make the commitment of membership, you can still help bring renewal to the church regarding the life issues with a gift of any size.
