World Mission Prayer League: Bridging The Gap Between Word & World
God The Father Creates – Will You Not Revive Us Again?
Lutherans will necessarily remember Martin Luther’s Small Catechism, affirming the first article of the Apostle’s Creed: I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.
And the subsequent question: What does this mean?

What seeds can be put in the system to grow from later as new norms are put in place post-pandemic?
