WELS...anyone?

[seajoy]

I know LCMS is a big synod , (I've belonged there twice in my life), but are there any WELS folk out there?
Most every post here deals with lcms questions.
Am I the only, lonely wels person here?
I'm happy to converse with you lcms folk...just wondering if I'm alone in the CF world !

We have a few WELS people here. Jim, who is one of the moderators is WELS. There are a couple more, but I don't see them often.

Hi Seajoy and welcome to the forum. There a couple of WELS folks here, but like Dan said, they don't come around too often, and some of the LCMS'ers are almost WELS.This forum and the folks here have become like my own family. A bunch of really nice people. I hope you can join us often.

Thanks for the invite!

As I read through these posts though, I think you folks are way smarter in theology than me! I hope I can contribute.

We're not only here for theology but sharing. Whatever you want to share. Joys, pains, hopes, anything. Some of us are in flux as far as denoms go, some are secure in their stance. This is the conservative sub forum and a lot of the action goes on in the Theological crusis forum were we debate anything with anybody or give explanations on our beliefs, but we still dialogue in here. THis is supposed to be a safe haven for us conservatives but then it also will bring in the liberals who also belong to the LCMS and WELS. Sofar, I'm LCMS conservative /confessional which is somewhat synonomous to the AALC and WELS.

Anyway Welcome

No need to feel intimidated. I am as dumb as they come & I have been accepted. They are a kindly bunch. We sometimes get heated in our discussions but no one had ever drawn blood yet.

You're funny LN! Perhaps I'll get along here after all. I can be kind of a stinker, too!

Well, Howdy There!

Mighty nice of you to stop in and say Hi.

I've never been to Mississippi, but I would like to see it some day. I'll bet she's pretty Huh?

 

[Gwennykate]

Definitely. My roommate in California is supposed to come visit me soon--I'm excited about her getting to see my Mississippi!

Of course they might allow you to take some blood for the bloodmobile if the church is sponsoring it. Jesus shed his blood to give us life and we can model his behavior in this way (though our blood doesn't have the same power to forgive sins as his did.)

Welcome! Those of us here in the midwest take many things for granted when it comes to picking out a WELS church...there's one every 15 feet, or so !

Way to go, on finding the only the WELS church in your state. The LCMS folks here on CF are fun to talk with, though. You will like them .

You must be in upper mid-west. The nearest WELS church from me is 45 miles and then after that about another 110 miles. Wish one was closer. I'd like to visit.

Grew up in Minnesota...moved to Wisconsin 22yrs ago.

Maybe I was exaggerating. I guess about every 20 feet !!!

By the way, I was baptised LCMS, confirmed and married WELS, went back to LCMS, now back to WELS .

That's a good one! I think I've stopped playing tennis now, though!

Hello Everyone

WELS member here too - Upper Midwest - Northern IL.

Baptised, Confirmed, Married and just baptised my daughter WELS

Welcome back SJ!

It's amazing to read the vast amount of knowledge in this forum - It's a little intimidating when wanting to post your opinion .. You double, triple check your verbiage. I'll have to sit during my lunch to truly absorb some of the things discussed here. It's great though, I love reading people's thoughts and opinions ... I love reading those very opinionated posts and see humble people expressing their ideas with words of love and support.

*I pray someday soon we'll have a church closer to you, Radidio.

In Christ's love -
