THANK YOU! to everyone who joined us at and helped with the 2013 Lutherans For Life National Conference! We pray that those who attended were blessed–and challenged–by the speakers and workshops. We pray too that the conference was helpful and uplifting as we all go about L.I.F.E. – Living In Faith Everyday.
We say a special thanks to the staff and members of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church for their help and hospitality!
