			GRACE LUTHERAN CHURCH

			Grace Lutheran Church joins  
			Lutheran Military Support Group 
			GRACE LUTHERAN CHURCH, 201 S. College St., Lincoln, IL 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.”
 
 To learn more about LMSG and its work, visit 
			www.lutheranmilitary.org.
 
 Grace Lutheran Church, formed in 2013, is part of ELS and currently 
			has 41 members. The congregation is served by Rev. Daniel McQuality
