A nation
wide Christian Network providing members of the LCMS (Families, Kids Club, Jr. Youth, Youth, Seniors, Singles, or Sportsman)
with a mechanism to develop Christian friendships within
and outside their home congregation.
If we are honest with ourselves, we have a tendency to compartmentalize
our lives. We say, “This is work time”, “this
is family time,” “this is personal time,” “this
is Church time” etc, but OUR God wants to be the LORD
of our entire life, not just from 8 to 12 on Sunday morning.
When you consider the activities that “FILL” your
leisure time, it is important to realize that the relationships
that are developed will either be beneficial or detrimental
to your Christian Walk.
LAO wants to provide you with the opportunity to connect
with other Lutheran Christians, locally or nationally, with
similar interests and demographics to:
- Bring Glory to God 1 Corinthians 10:3,
- Walk in Love Ephesians 5:1-7, Light Ephesians 5: 8-13 & Wisdom Ephesians 5: 14-20,
- Be Salt and Light to the world Matthew 5:13-15.
The goal of LAO is to be a resource, for the layperson as
well as church leadership, at the Circuit, District and national
levels of the LCMS that:
- Enables parishes to maintain their identity
and mission in the community they serve.
- Allow Lutheran Christians of these parishes
to build relationships and engage in activities, outings, retreats, etc. that
any one parish would otherwise be unable to accomplish.
- Helps us to maintain OUR focus on OUR relationship with
OUR Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
