There’s a very serious fellow in there, as well as a very witty humorous fellow.

Pay attention to Freeper Charles Henrickson, he will guide you.

Thank you, bcsco and Conservativegreatgrandma, for recommending me as a contact. And yes, NoGrayZone, I think I could be of help in guiding you to a true church--indeed, a truly Lutheran church (unlike the ELCA churches that could have a woman or homo pastor).

I am a Lutheran pastor, LCMS (Missouri Synod), and we have a number of congregations in Long Island. I used the lcms.org church locator to find some listings, and I was looking for names of pastors I recognized. I came across one church listing (for starters) that looks promising.

Trinity Lutheran Church
5 Durham Road
New Hyde Park, NY 11040
516-354-8883

I know it's a few miles west of Suffolk County, but it is on Long Island, and based on their website, it looks worth checking out. The pastor's name is Rev. Jimmy Coffey. Tell him that I sent you.

Now there may be other decent LCMS churches on Long Island, but this should get you going, at least.

Let me know how it goes, either on this thread or by freepmail.

I accidentally left out the church's website. Here it is:
