Starting catechesis this month

[JM]

At the end of it I'll decide if I'm going to become a Lutheran in the LCMS.

Pray for me.

 

[LizaMarie]

Praying for you!

 

[JM]

Praying for you!

Thank you.

Hey, that's great! God's blessings to you! You are in my prayers.

 

[JM]

Thank you.

I have one issue but it's big one. The Lord’s Supper is observed only once a month due to people thinking the set up is too much work.

I don't mind setting up.

I do mind not having communion every Sunday.

I'm praying about this....

Is it contrary to Lutheranism to take a confirmation name?

Wow. People come up with the least logical reasons not to have communion. I did a parish profile for an LCMS bloke in Texas once. He wanted to have weekly communion. Anyhow, the elder board or whatever told him it cost too much. He had figures from the secretary and told them a communion service cost about $8 and said he would pay for it out of his salary! They let him have weekly communion at the midweek service but the Sunday service stayed every other Sunday.

I wasn't willing to shake things up but after I asked it was discussed at the Elders meeting. I guess I'm not the only one who asked so it will be put to a congregational vote. I'm not sure how these things go but I'm willing to present a case for weekly communion.
