Today we have the privilege of introducing two congregations who have finished their closing interview, thereby wrapping up the official Reconciling in Christ process.
Atonement Lutheran Church of Newport, Oregon welcomes "persons of any ethnicity, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, marital status, age, economic situation, and physical or mental ability." They are happy to celebrate the gifts of any individual who chooses to attend their congregation.
As
Berwyn United and First Lutheran of Berwyn, Illinois merge their congregations, it is only fitting that they, too, assert "there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female" in Christ.

| While this is Berwyn United's sanctuary, the congregations will move into First Lutheran's building on West 31st St. |
We are blessed to have join these congregationsin ministry. Thanks be to God! Alleluia!
