Thanksgiving! As it’s been a while, I’d like to briefly mention those who specifically do the work of getting our MAIN STREET LIVING programs on the air. First, we thank the pastors of our Minnesota North & North Dakota LCMS congregations for taking the extra time and effort to have their services ready several months in advance and driving to our recording locations. Thanks also to the congregations who serve as our recording sites. Most of the time, the recording is done at Immanuel, Fargo, with a once a year recording at Immanuel, Grand Forks, and once a year in western ND, where we’ve recorded at both Messiah, Mandan, and Bethel, Bismarck.
Jay Schaefer, a member of Immanuel, Fargo, continues to do all of the technical work (recording, editing, and getting the programs to the TV stations and our MSL website. Courtney Solberg, also a member at Immanuel, has been assisting recently with set up and running the Teleprompter. And Ken Koehler from St. Andrew, West Fargo, continues to coordinate our MSL North operation overall, including setting dates and locations for the recordings and writing the newsletter and bulletin articles, etc. In addition to Ken, our Lay Leadership Team continues to be Doug Schmidt (VP), Mark Jones (Treasurer), and Carole Borchers (Secretary). There are, of course, also others who help out in various ways, including those of you who financially support the programs!
Please continue to share information about our LCMS “Main Street Living” media ministry with others. In addition to being broadcast each Sunday morning – you can view all archived programs at any time at www.mainstreetliving.com (then click on the link under the picture identified as “North (Fargo).”
Thank you for your much needed financial support! Checks may be sent to “Main Street Living NORTH,” 821-5th Ave. S., Fargo, ND 58103, or donate by Credit Card or your PayPal account on the web site. God’s blessing in Christ!
