Oklahoma District 100th Anniversary Celebration: Plan now to attend the district’s 100th anniversary celebration, to be held at St. John’s, Okarche, on May 19. St. John’s was the site of the first Oklahoma District Convention held in 1924. The Matins Service will begin at 4 p.m., followed by a centennial banquet at 5:30. Honored guests will include Rev. Dr. Matthew C. Harrison, President, LCMS as preacher and readers Rev. William R. Diekelman, former Oklahoma District President and Rev. Justin Panzer, Kansas District president. The music will include an adult choir formed by a collection of members from Oklahoma District congregations and a children’s choir formed by a collection of members from Oklahoma District Lutheran Schools.

The theme verse for the celebration is taken from Psalm 28:7, “The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him.” Truly, the strength, protection, and help of the Lord have carried our district as part of the Lord’s Church for the last 100 years. In remembering our Lord’s goodness during this blessed gathering, we thank Him and worship Him together.
