Happy to Report...

...that the preaching of the saving Gospel and the reverent celebration of the Holy Eucharist is alive and well at Concordia Lutheran Church in Granite City. Pastor Feicho really is one of the finest preachers I've been privileged to hear. I have heard him many times and he never fails to deliver the Good News in a way that keeps me on the edge of my seat. And, as at Hope last week where Pastor Asburry and Hope's building preached so harmoniously together, so at Concordia, the building proclaimed together with Pastor Feicho. As we knelt before the altar, the beautiful crucifix before our eyes, we rejoiced to receive with all the pilgrim church "the things that make for our peace" - the precious Body and Blood of our Savior who visits us in this time of grace that He might not have cause to weep over us in eternity. The icing on the cake was Mrs. Daniels outstanding service on the organ - David commented on the beautiful Bach postlude as we left.
