LUTHERAN LIFE:
Our congregation is a member of the Florida-Georgia District, LCMS and they have a free
newsmagazine, called Lutheran Life. This is not to be confused with the newsmagazine of the Synod,
Lutheran Witness. We will soon be submitting our congregational list to the editor so that every
household will have one mailed directly to them at no cost so that you can read all about the various
ministries that are happening throughout your district. Lutheran Life will use your address for mailing
purposes only and will be kept strictly confidential; however if you prefer NOT to have your address
included, please call the church office at 407-469-2525 by March 24th so that we can remove your
address from the list. Thank you
If you no longer wish to receive our email blasts, please email [email protected] and we
will remove you from our mailing list.
