[Mr. Lucky]

So, you’re surprised that a Missouri Synod Lutheran Church would leave politics out of a Thanksgiving service?

[Syco]

I’ve been LCMS my whole life and Even attended the Seminary in St Louis. Pastors tend to stay fairly neutral on these things, though they can certainly get political from the pulpit. My pastor is a staunch advocate of the pro-life movement but continues to pray for our leaders (whomever they may be). I will say that I will be very happy after January 20th when he stops praying for “our President Barack” and starts praying our President Donald!

That said, I’ll say it. Thank you Lord for the election of Donald J. Trump. Please bless his presidency and give him wisdom and resolve to govern according to Your will!

No, the minister intentionally censored anything political at the Thanksgiving Eve prayers.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

We gave thanks that the election was over and prayed that our newly elected leaders would lead the country in a Godly manner.

[Popman]

Basically, the pastor thanked God that his will was done without mentioning anyone in particular...

Pastors tend to stay neutral...for good reasons...

I live in the Seattle/Tacoma area and our church remained semi neutral of the election although one pastor posted he didn’t support either candidate. Some of the members of the church were off the wall liberal and they cried about it after the election. I seriously don’t know how any Christian could support Clinton.

I’m so sick of being in a liberal congregation and I attend a LCMS.

If nothing was said, at least it wasn’t a rant. Check out this one from the ELCA pastor at First Lutheran Church, Malden, MA

Our church has acted as if there has been NO election. Only mention of it from the pulpit has been: 1) God is in control. 2) If refugees enter our country, we will meet them with the gospel.

The King did many right things in the sight of the Lord but

The high places, however, were not removed;

[fkabuckeyesrule]

My church Bedside Baptist did. HEEHEE!

[NRx]

The Orthodox Church is solidly pro-life but we don’t endorse specific candidates either pre-or-post-election. That said, almost every service contains prayers for the President, all civil authorities and those who serve in the armed forces.

[Salvation]

No politics on Thanksgiving Day at my church. We were serving 1000 free Thanksgiving meals.
