Inspiring stories about your investments making a difference in LCMS congregations across Texas.
Chipping Away
St. John Lutheran in Athens has been around since the early 1980’s. As with all churches and our lives, things change. We get older. We make mistakes. We do our best to mend what we can, but sometimes things just flat fall apart. Our facility is a living example of that. Pastor Seth Davidson continues with this wonderful message:
