Did you know that the first Lutheran pastor came to “America” in 1619? Did you know that a Lutheran colony was established in Delaware in 1637? Did you know that they translated Luther’s Small Catechism into an American Indian language? Do you know what happened to the churches established by those early Lutherans?

The link below takes you to a short article about these early Lutherans and what happened to them.
