Proposed Overtures Now Available From ACELC Website

Dear Friends,

Just a quick note to let you know that we have made a couple of changes to the website.

First of all, we have combined all the members into one page rather than two. The Congregational Members are listed first under the Members tab, followed by the Associate Members. Take a look and see what you think. We think it's an improvement.

Secondly, we have added a new tab to the toolbar entitled "Proposed Overtures" where we have just posted five so far, and will be posting more as we get them formatted and ready for you to download.

The Overtures are (and you should be able download them from the links below) . . .

1. To Officially Acknowledge Closed Communion As Official LCMS Practice

2. To Reject and Condemn Errant Communion Practices

3. To Encourage Harmony in the District's Worship

4. To Address Lay Ministry according to the Lutheran Confessions and the Constitution of the LCMS

5. The Nature of the Pastoral Office and the Unbiblical Removal of Men from that Office

We pray you will find these helpful for either your congregation or circuit.

Yours in Christ's Service
ACELC Board of Directors

P.S. You might get this more than once since we are trying to disseminate this information to as many people as possible.
