How can we remember and learn more about our Lutheran heritage in Perry County, MO? Denise Hellwege (Director of Lutheran Heritage Center and Museum, KFUO’s Organization of the week) joins Andy and Sarah to talk about the group of German Lutherans who left their homes for a new one in Missouri, why they left and why they chose to settle in Missouri, what they found when they arrived and the hardships they faced. She also shares what the Lutheran Heritage Center and Museum does to document and present this history, and details about the Biennial Immigration History Conference happening October 23-25. You can learn more and register for the conference at lutheranmuseum.com.
As you grab your morning coffee (and pastry, let’s be honest), join hosts Andy Bates and Sarah Gulseth as they bring you stories of the intersection of Lutheran life and a secular world. Catch real-life stories of mercy work of the LCMS and partners, updates from missionaries across the ocean, and practical talk about how to live boldly Lutheran.
