5 /5 John Schranz: In my 68 year journey I have formally joined this church three times: in 1970, in 1992 and in 2023. That is thinking one dimensionally because this church, meaning it’s people, have traveled the globe with me. Some members actually left with me when I joined the marines in 1978. Others remained in TLH. Some others followed me back in 1992, including my wife and children as well as people I met as faraway as California and Japan. When I left again in 2007 I discovered again how I remained a part of this church as it remained a part of me. I encountered other “former” members in places like Norway and Virginia and realized how small the world is and how large this congregation is. I’ve returned again because … it is part of my heavenly home and it’s people have become a part of my family and I of their’s. Come and experience that connection for the first time …. Or again. To God be the glory.
