The mission of Atonement Lutheran Church is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ – birth, life, death, resurrection and ascension. This is a shared ministry of staff and laity. We are a community that provides time and space for worship, learning and administration of the sacraments. We witness by reaching out with God’s love. We accept responsibility for ministry to the spiritual and physical needs of our congregation, community and people of the world.

Primary Season --Lutheran Style |
|

2012 is an election year in America, and that means enduring the endless round of primaries across the country where immense sums of money are spent and nasty things are said that will later be used against the candidate who is eventually nominated. As the primaries roll on, the number of candidates dwindles. Michelle Bachman, Herman Cain, and Rick Perry had their moment in the sun, along with the character in New Hampshire known for wearing a snowshoe on his head, while promising a pony for every family in America if he would be elected president.
2012 also happens to be an election year in the Rocky Mountain Synod of the ELCA. We will elect a successor to Bishop Alan Bjornberg in April, 2012, when the Synod Assembly gathers in Colorado Springs. This election is not preceded by a series of primaries, but rather through what is known as an “Ecclesiastical Ballot.” Getting oneʼs name on this ballot is relatively easy to do, for any rostered ELCA clergy-person can be considered for this office, even if they are not currently serving a call within the Rocky Mountain Synod.
