Roanoke Times coverage of grant recipient
Article in the Roanoke Times on Worship Renewal Grant recipient Luther Memorial Lutheran Church:
…
Rev. Gary Schroeder was immediately open to the idea of finding a way to enhance the worship.
“We didn’t seem to have any answers as to what to change or how to change it,” he said. “So, this possibility of studying worship and using some grant money to bring in speakers and learn more about what’s going on out there in the contemporary scene seemed just like a godsend, really.”
But something came to Schroeder and Quesenberry’s attention before an official proposal was delivered.
“We realized that other churches in the area were probably struggling with some of the same things we were—how to make worship relevant to the members that were already coming, and how to reach the unchurched that are in our community,” Quesenberry said.
So Luther Memorial didn’t go in alone.
