19 LCCF NEWSLETTER Content Editors: Pastor Marvin H. Eibs Pastor Robert Mehltretter Publishing Committee: Pastor Robert Mehltretter Pastor Marvin Eibs Willis Wendland (Secretary) Dan Goettl (Treasurer) Mike Lehmann (Subscription Mgr. / Design) Dan Greve (Ministry By Mail Administrator) The LCCF Newsletter is a bi-monthly publication of the Lutheran Conference of Confessional Fellowship. Faith should be followed by confession, and together with Christians of all times, the members of the LCCF publicly confess the truth of God s Word as found in the faithful, historic confessions of the church. By the grace of God, the LCCF traces its heritage to the Lutheran Reformation through the Synodical Conference. Following the example of the early Lutheran church, the members of the LCCF have found it necessary to fight the good fight of faith by responding to those controversies surrounding the dissolution of the Synodical Conference with confessions true to the inspired Word of God. We want to continue in what we have learned and have become convinced of, because we know those from whom we have learned it (2 Timothy 3:14). We invite all inquiries into our confession, our fellowship, and our publications. As a small group of Lutherans, it is our hope that all who read this little publication would scrutinize our confession, test it by the truth of Scripture, and, finding it faithful, would make it their own through the tender mercies of the Lord. Subscription Service: Inquiries for subscriptions or back issues should be sent to: LCCF Newsletter c/o Michael Lehmann State Highway 22, Mankato, MN Telephone: mclehman@charter.net Subscription Rates: $10 / year or $2 / back-issue within U.S.A. For all other countries, please write for rates.
