Life Matters
The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod (LCMS) believes that all human life is sacred - from conception to natural death. The Psalmist declared: “It was you who brought me out of the womb, making me secure at my mother’s breast. I was given over to you at birth; you have been my God from my mother’s womb.” (Psalm 22:9-10 CSB)
Again, God declares in His Word: “I will be the same until your old age, and I will bear you up when you turn gray. I have made you, and I will carry you; I will bear and rescue you.” (Isaiah 46:4 CSB)
We stand firmly against abortion and euthanasia in all its forms. On Nov. 8, 2022, Michigan residents voted for ballot proposal 3, which wrote into Michigan’s constitution “reproductive freedom for all.” As a result, Michigan now allows abortion without restriction right up to the moment of birth, even for minor children without parental consent. The constitutional language also allows for the sexual transitioning of minor children without parental consent. Grace Lutheran tried with many other groups, to wake people up to the dangers of Prop 3 with a video we created and distributed through Michigan, called “I Didn’t Know.” (Video Below)
We are not afraid to stand with God for life and for the order of creation.
I DIDN’T kNOw
We are of course, saddened at the passing of Proposal 3 in Michigan. That constitutional change will result in the further slaughter of our innocent unborn and all the evil that we presented in our video: “I didn’t kNOw.”
We acknowledge that we “…live our lives as strangers here in reverent fear,” (1 Peter 1:17) and that “our citizenship is in heaven.” (Phil. 3:20). And we resolve to continue to “speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves” (Prov. 31:8).

Each year in November, Grace members collect change, cash and checks in baby bottles. We pray for the moms, dads and children who will be supported by our donations to Positive Options.
GriefShare
A GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way.
Although Grace Lutheran is not hosting a GriefShare group right now, there are several near-by. Use the ‘Find a Group’ button to see which is convenient for you.
