Grace Lutheran Church, 201 S. College St., Lincoln, has formed a local chapter of the Lutheran Military Support Group (LMSG).

“This is a lay-led group of military people who want to serve the men and women of the United States military, Veterans and their families,” explains Clarence Mankin, Atlanta who is a member of Grace and the liaison for the local LMSG chapter.

LMSG is a national non-profit organization made up of more than 350 congregations that are members of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod (ELS) and the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). Formed by veterans, LMSG is designed to connect and share Christian fellowship and support with all military men and women and their families. Since its formation in 2015, LMSG has approved grants that contributed thousands of dollars toward local congregations to support and thank men, women and their families.

“Our local congregation is pleased to be part of this network of Christians who are deeply interested in serving our military,” says Mankin. “We look forward to working in the (city) area through events and spiritual support.”

Grace Lutheran Church, formed in 2013, is part of ELS and currently has 41 members. The congregation is served by Rev. Daniel McQuality.
