Lutheran Foundation Canada assists Lutheran donors in identifying, establishing and carrying out their charitable wishes (planned gifts) towards congregations, or the many mission and service organizations that support the ministry of Lutheran Church-Canada. You have likely already experienced the joy of giving to your local congregation or any number of Lutheran charitable organizations to help them accomplish their mission. What better way to thank God then by using a porti

Scripture Readings Grace, mercy, and peace be to you from God our Father and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen! Back in the old country, a grandpa and his grandson were walking home from the market with their donkey. As they walked along, the folks along the way began to laugh and make fun of them. “Why are they both walking beside the donkey?! You’d think one of those fools would ride!” Upon this scorn and peer pressure, the old man put his grandson on the donkey’s back

Scripture Readings Grace, mercy, and peace be to you from God our Father and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen! Do you ever notice how pretty much everyone loves Christmas? There in the manger lies the little Lord Jesus, cute and cuddly, asleep on the hay. Shepherds, angels, Mary, Joseph, and barnyard animals all gathered around the newborn King. The prophet Isaiah painted this beautiful picture centuries earlier: “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the

Scripture Readings Grace, mercy and peace be to you from God our Father and Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen! Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there! Father’s Day is another great reminder that none of us would be here without you! It really is fascinating when you think about it. God Himself instituted fatherhood and motherhood for the purpose fulfilling the original “great commission” at the dawn of creation: “So God created man in his own image, in the image of Go

Scripture Readings Grace, mercy and peace be to you from God our Father and Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen! One evening, a man was out for a walk along a beautiful beach on the pacific ocean. As he journeyed along his way, he was admiring the gorgeous sunset and the sound of the waves crashing onto the shore. He noticed another man down the beach in the distance. As he approached this other man, he noticed that from time to time this man would stoop down, pick something

Scripture Readings Grace, mercy and peace be to you from God our Father and Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen! Pretty much the last place on planet earth I’d ever choose willingly to go is to the hospital. Especially the ER. I’m impatient and hate waiting. In Moose Jaw, it’s an automatic 3 hours and probably more like 6-8 of just sitting around waiting to get looked at. Don’t you long for the days when the doctor came to your house and fixed you up with merely the contents

Scripture Readings Grace, mercy and peace be to you from God our Father and Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen! I’ve got a real interest in early church history. As Lutherans, we tend to kind of default to the Reformation with Luther and the other Protestants. But that was only around 500 years ago. What happened before that? How did Christians understand God and theology way back, like 1,900 years ago!? It’s fascinating really. Often we have ideas about God and faith that r

Scripture Readings Grace, mercy and peace be to you from God our Father and Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen! Last Sunday at confirmation we were talking about God’s presence with His people. When you read the Scriptures, you can see a definitive pattern emerging about this. Eden, the garden-temple that we talked about last Sunday, was the starting point. God was present in a very intense way with Adam and Eve. In a world without sin and death, you had a literal paradise.

Scripture Readings Christ is Risen! He is Risen Indeed! Alleluia! Our ‘once-Christian’ culture still bears some of the fingerprints of the Church. Christmas. Easter. Thanksgiving. The bigger holidays are still there in concept, even if the actual Christian meaning has become eclipsed by Santa and a bunny and a turkey. Even our weekend days of Saturday and Sunday reflect the Sabbath and the day of our Lord’s Resurrection that used to be days off from work. Now they’ve just bec
