TimeLine Newsletter

TimeLine is the official quarterly newsletter of LCMS Black Ministry. It serves the ministry of the LCMS by advocating for the outreach, nurture and training of districts, congregations, schools and professional church workers engaged in ministry to people of African descent and other ethnic ministries in the Synod.

TimeLine regularly reports the progress of local, regional and national work; celebrates and encourages partnerships; and grants incentives to those who embrace witness, mercy and life together in Christ for the Church and the world. We are committed to a message of unwavering optimism in changing times.

To make our future quarterly TimeLine e-newsletters a meaningful resource for all, we need you to send us articles about your harvest field, events, programs, activities, mission, and “best practices” to share with our congregations in the LCMS. With your participation, we can help our churches increase awareness, provide information, and offer idea possibilities as they seek to carry out the work of witness, mercy, and life together ministry opportunities in their respective communities.

Please send your articles to Rev. Roosevelt Gray, Jr. at roosevelt.gray@lcms.org by the end of the first month in the respective quarter (i.e., July 31 for the third quarter newsletter) so that we can share your news in our next edition.

Contact LCMS Black Ministry at 888-THE LCMS (843-5267) or at infocenter@lcms.org to subscribe and to request more information.

The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod Inc., including Mission Central (in Mapleton, Iowa), is an IRS registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charity.

A contribution designated (restricted) for a specific purpose, when accepted, will be used only to fund expenses related to that purpose. Occasionally, we may receive more in contributions for a particular purpose than can be wisely applied to it in the foreseeable future or the purpose may cease to be feasible. In these situations, the LCMS will make reasonable attempts to contact contributors to apply their contribution toward another aspect of ministry that aligns closely the contributor’s goals and values. If a contributor cannot be contacted, the LCMS will use the gift to meet a similar pressing need that most closely matches the contributor's original intent.

Consistent with Synod Board policy and in recognition of a more challenging economic and philanthropic/fundraising environment due to inflationary pressure, not more than 12.5 percent of any charitable contribution will be allocated to administering gifts and communicating with contributors (compared to a not-more-than ceiling of 10.5 percent the previous fiscal year). Contributions received and accepted by the LCMS are deemed to be in agreement with this statement.
