The Albert Lea — Austin area Word Alone Ministries chapter will host a special event at 2 p.m. Sunday at Christ the King Lutheran Church, 1004 Elm Ave. W., Waseca. The Rev. Cary Larson will tell the story of this mission start. This story of rebirth and hope is needed in a time when many Lutherans are struggling following years of steady decline in Biblical authority within the ELCA.
