is no longer a member of the ELCA as of about 3 weeks ago. They
were unhappy with the decisions made at the ChurchWideAssembly in
2009 so their lead pastor spoke to Bishop Rogness about dual membership
with LCMC. Bishop Rogness told him that it was against the constitution
to have dual membership but he would not disallow their joining, so First
joined LCMC.
Recently, the dual membership has become a problem and the ELCA has
NOW decided to enforce their ruling on the problem. First Lutheran is no
longer affiliated with the ELCA.
FYI: Grace Lutheran in Eau Claire continues to need our prayer support as
they continue their battle with the court system to retain their property.
Please uphold them in your prayers and if you feel the need to financially
support them, they would be most grateful as their expenses are huge.
Blessings,
