When did your congregation begin supporting LHM: 2011
How does your congregation support LHM? My congregation, Gethsemane Lutheran Church, gives annual donations to support The Lutheran Hour broadcast on our local station, WRNJ.
What was the motivation behind supporting LHM? It is important to have Christian programming available to everyone in our community. I think The Lutheran Hour is the best Christian program around, so it is important to support it.
How do members stay informed about The Lutheran Hour? Every Sunday, the air times are listed in the bulletin as well as the different ways to listen. Each week, Gethsemane uses the spot at the beginning of The Lutheran Hour broadcast to share our Sunday service schedule and Bible study times. WRNJ plays ads several times a day that promote The Lutheran Hour broadcast on Sunday. In addition, every couple months, Gethsemane includes a flyer for The Lutheran Hour in the bulletin to remind our members that it is available to them.
Additional comments: One of my favorite aspects of The Lutheran Hour is that it provides consistency. It is available for anyone whenever they need it.
