The Coffee Hour

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.

The International Lutheran Center at the Old Latin School on Sunday, May 3, 2015, in Wittenberg, Germany. The building is the culmination of the joint effort by the LCMS, the Independent Evangelical Lutheran Church (SELK), and the International Lutheran Society of Wittenberg (ILSW), to establish a distinctly Lutheran presence in the very cradle of the Reformation.
