    your commitment to lutheranism

    My Church is called "Lutheran Church of the Good Sheppard" and it is a LCMS Church. I think its either going on a year or has already passed the year mark, I can't really remember. I like that it is Liturgical, Confessional, and Sacramental. I do not like that they might occasionally sing a...
