A true artist of the stars, Milton Hill’s commitment to the celestial orientation of this unique Pennsylvania art form preserved and continued the folk culture’s traditional views for generations to come.

  • The Voice February 2021
    The Voice February 2021 The Lord of the Church Provides for His People The Lord Jesus instructs his followers to “Pray the Lord of the harvest to send laborers” to car- ry on the work of the reign, or kingdom, of God. The members of Hanover Lutheran Church enter into an exciting time, as the congregation prepares to receive a gift from the Good Shepherd. He has heard the prayers of his disciples, and Jesus has provided the answer “Yes” to your request for a pastor. This change is also a time that can cause questions to arise. Such questions are not uncommon for the members of a parish family when receiving a new “under shepherd.” “Will then incoming pastor be someone with whom I can talk? Will his voice be right for me to understand him? (I don’t always hear so well, you know.) What things might change in our con- gregation?” Some of these questions will be answered immediately, once a person meets the new pastor, or hears him preach that first sermon. Other matters will take more time to become clear (or at least clearer). Then there are the other kinds of questions, just as important for congregational members to ask and to answer. “How can I help the new pastor to get to know us better? What is God asking me to do to sup- port my (new) pastor? How can I be sure to keep our congregation focused on what God’s Word teaches? How can we help each other hear what the (new) pastor says may need to be changed?” The truth is simple.

Yet abortions deliver our children to death, and assisted suicides execute our elders (Matthew 10:21). Jesus categorizes these acts as persecutions against the Gospel.

    It is not always easy for outsiders to understand a different Christian denomination or church family. One’s preconceptions – for example about the Lutheran churches – may be coloured by common stereo- types or personal experience.
