I was pleasantly surprised when I recently received the latest issue of the Lutheran Engage magazine. This issue contained an article about the LCMS mission church in Kaiserslautern, Germany. The article grabbed my attention because my wife and I lived in K-town for 18 months way back in 1964-65. This was my first assignment as a very young officer in the US Army. As we prepared for this new adventure, we wondered whether there was an LCMS church nearby - if not, our alternative was the worship provided by the Army chaplain. God answered out prayers. We learned about about a small LCMS gathering shepherded by Pastor Huchthausen (spelling?), a retired LCMS pastor. Our place of worship was certainly not fancy. We met in an office building in central Kaiserslautern, no organ, no pews, a makeshift altar, but we were thankful that we could worship together. Reading the article and seeing the pictures, we wish we could visit the KELC and worship once again with the pastor and people. However, we are now in our mid-eighties and can no longer undertake long trips. Please let the folks know that they are in our prayers.
