The recent decision of the California Supreme Court legalizing same-sex "marriage" highlights the downward spiral of moral values that is becoming so prevalent in our culture. This most recent action contravenes not only the Judeo-Christian values that have defined the moral compass of this great nation, but also the laws of nature and the natural reproductive process.
In the face of such moral decline, The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod has consistently upheld the Bible-based values that designate "marriage as the lifelong union of one man and one woman (Genesis 2:2–24; Matthew 19:5–6)" (2004 LCMS Convention Resolution 3-05a).
 The "Working with Woods II" students of Racine Lutheran High School designed and constructed 26 wooden crosses that were donated to Camp LuWiSoMo in Wild Rose to be placed in various buildings located at the camp. Members of the class (left to right) are: Evan Zimmerman, Zach Dukquits, Dylan Kobriger, R.J. Hugasian, Mike Nikolai, and instructor Nate Bickel.

The missions department had a wonderful surprise the week of June 8 when Lutheran Heritage Foundation (LHF) executive director, Rev. Dr. Bob Rahn stopped by to visit with  Rev. Dan McMiller. Rahn announced that 11,000 Spanish Bibles, with Catechisms included, are now in print and he presented a few copies to the District. It was a project that was just a vision in 2001, and has now become a reality that will have wide usage in our District and in many other places throughout the world.
