Ten Indictments offered to Pastors and Evangelists by an Evangelist

http://www.tenindictments.com/

Paul Washer delivers a urgent appeal to the Christians and Churches in North America that many have been believing a false gospel and have false assurance of their salvation. He lists 10 indictments against the modern Church system in America. This is a historical urgent message, tell others and spread the message. We need a reformation and revival of a biblical standard!

1959-2009 50th Anniversary

What a privilege to be the coordinator at this very special time in the history of London-Lutheran Campus Ministry.

Our visitors at the anniversary reception were from the very first year of the acquisition of our first Luther Campus Centre to the present.  How fortunate we are to be able to have such depth of living history in our ministry.

L-LCM took advantage of this occasion to honor all three local congregations which have been so supportive of us, Redeemer Lutheran, St. Ansgar Lutheran and Trinity Lutheran.  Our council chairperson Mrs. Carmen Dimetryko presented a keepsake memento to each congregation.

We were also able to present mementos to the Opper and Hulan families for their participation over the last twenty-five years as students, parents of students and as council members at Luther House at various times.
We also made a special presentation to Mrs. Marjory Haywood who was a founding member of the Lutheran Student Association in 1948 and has just recently resigned as a council member here.  Her active support of London-Lutheran Campus Ministry over all these years has been a blessing indeed.

Former students, current students and retired and active pastors were also present.

There was an infectious happiness throughout the group all afternoon.  Old friends met and chatted.  Older folk met with younger folk and there seemed me that there was no age difference between them.  Memories were shared amongst us as were the hopes for the future of Lutheran Campus Ministry.

If you missed the event you are still welcome to drop in and say “Hi” whenever you see the “OPEN” sign in the window. This is a student drop-in whether you are new or old.  We would love to meet you.

Peace,
Dwight

Foreign Students at Luther House

We Visited Redeemer Lutheran in London

This year we are blessed with three new students from China.  They were quite curious to visit my home congregation, Redeemer Evangelical Lutheran Church.  This is the first church they have been in and were quite impressed with the whole experience and especially the stained glass windows.

We also met with Reine who is an adopted girl from China.  I think Reine (3) was quite taken aback by meeting these familiar looking strangers.  She soon warmed up to them coyly.

We then visited St. Peter’s Basilica to see the even more impressive stained glass windows there.  I noticed the effect on the students.  Their sense of awe was soon replaced by a sense of appreciation for the spiritual awakening within them.  We plan to visit other churches near London, perhaps yours.

Peace,

Luther House is Busy This Summer

Summer is Here…We are still busy!

Tags: , , , ,

This is an unusual experience for us here at Luther House.  We are busy throughout the summer.  We are presenting the Campus Alpha Course for Students from the University of Western Ontario and from Fanshawe College.  There has been much excitement because apparently this is the only program running here in London at this time.  We are also running a second night Alpha Program for adults.

Our house is full with students and for the month of July we will be hosting a family from Owen Sound who are here for a summer course for one of their children.  Ah the pitter patter of little feet.  Well, not too little but we will enjoy the enthusiasm and the energy of these young folk.

If you are visiting in London this summer, drop in and say hi.  Someone will be here.  We would love to hear from you.
