Rock and roll.
Hi G-G,
I have never been to a service there and I live a few miles from that Church, but it certainly has a nice building and grounds, and it does a lot of stuff to help the needy in the community.
Link = Good Samaritan Lutheran Church (ELCA)
And St. Mary's County is still an old Catholic dominant community.
The Catholic originated "Soup Kitchen" for the poor was moved there a couple years ago out of the downtown Lexington Park area, but other local Churches pitch in to help run the soup kitchen which I think it is open the 5 workdays and I think it is closed on the weekends.
My understanding is that the Soup Kitchen is closed on the weekends because there are people that do not want any of the working poor to get in to get any free food on their weekend days off.
That is not the Lutheran's doing but that old tradition is the same as it was done when in Lexington Park.
I myself really love Martin Luther (1483-1546) as he was one of my best ideals of a truly great historical person.

Thanks for sending. I really like their community involvement and their genuine care and concern for others on their journey. Thanks again.

What must you use such dirty language here for.
This is not only a community forum but this is the Religion Board and with the thread done by a new member and new to town and a Christian woman and she gets greatly by a Mr filthy-mouth.
And I know you see me as some negative horrible person myself - but I do have my own threads going and you can cuss me out all you want to over there instead of bringing your filthy mouth into a thread like this.
Bring your dirty talk over to my threads and try using some common courtesy and manners when you are loose elsewhere.
Than STFU

Thank you for the info. I appreciate your support.
Unfortunately on this site you come across quite a few jerks who just like to see their own postings I guess and have someone respond to them. Whether they get a positive or negative one they are happy someone is acknowledging them. I supppose they need attention and that is the only way they think they can get it, sad for them.
They don't realize they could get more positive energy and responses from folks if they were helpful..and if you don't have any real inputs, just don't respond.
Have a great evening.

St. Pauls is a good church.
Soup kitchen is still in Great Mills five days a wek at the Lutheran Church there.
Soup kitchen is seperate from the one on Great Mills Rd.
On weekends church take priorety over Md Food Bank.
.St. Pauls does it's best for those in need.
Thats my guess.

I have friends that go there, but the denomination is the most liberal of all the Luthern churches, The ELCA ordains praticing homesexuals and violates scripture allowing women as pastors. Have you considered Trinity Luthern? I'd recomend a Wisconsin senate but theres none in the area I am aware of. Do you really want to be counted with or belong to that organization? Unless their splitting and becoming part of the Core Lutherns. A lot of churches pulled out of the ELCA to become Core after the homesexual vote. Me personally I want a church that belives and preaches all of Gods word rather than around it.

Hi Marie
My point was that I very much like the historical personage of Martin Luther himself aside from his Theology.
I see Martin Luther as a strong brave Man with guts and spirit and he changed our world for the better.
And I find his Theology to be very complex and deep so there are no easy doctrines that I could embrace or dismiss from the great ML.
And in my own learning I agree with the saying that; "Actions speak louder than words." and so I say Martin Luther spoke immensely louder and spiritually louder in his actions rather than in his words.
