Main Street Living offers a worship experience to the many who cannot or do not attend worship on a regular basis. Main Street Living airs from 9 - 10 am each Sunday on WFTC. The first half hour is re-mastered episodes of the popular “This is the Life” TV series from Lutheran Hour Ministries. The second half hour is a modified Lutheran worship service featuring a message from a different Minnesota pastor each week.
Main Street Living airs each Sunday at 9 am on WFTC Channel 29/9-2 with an episode of This Is the Life. This week’s episode is “No Laughing Matter.” A woman must learn to deal with her past to help someone else in her present.
The worship service begins at 9:30 am with Rev. Robert Moeller from Our Saviour’s-Pipestone, MN; St. John’s-Trosky, MN; and Trinity Lutheran Church in Jasper, MN, presenting a message titled “A Prophet Has Come” based on Ezekiel 2:1-5.
