WELS also has an Instagram account, @welslutherans, with more than 2,900 followers; and a Vimeo channel. A bi-weekly print newsletter, “Together,” is e-mailed to subscribers the first and third Tuesday of each month. On the second and fourth Tuesday, a “Together” video update is sent. To subscribe to “Together,” visit wels.net/subscribe. While there you can subscribe to other communications, including devotions, blogs, and a Bible-reading plan.


Luther Movie

Return to Grace: Luther’s Life and Legacy was shown by more than 1,000 WELS congregations and groups in local movie theaters across the United States in 2017, helping to spread Luther’s message of God’s grace found in Scripture. A version of the movie also appeared on PBS. Northwestern Publishing House is now offering DVDs of Return to Grace. To learn more, visit nph.net.


WELS Technology has been focusing on security, efficiency and stewardship, and digital outreach. The development of the online called worker compensation calculator, which can be found at wels.net/cwcompcalc, streamlines the compensation process for congregations.
