 Welcome to the Morning Watch, Minnesota's longest-running radio program, the devotional broadcast of the Fergus Falls congregations of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Greg Laurie said, The church is an oasis in a desert of hopelessness. You need the church, and the church needs you. Good morning, and welcome to Morning Watch. I'm Jerry Peterson, Minister of the Congregations of Austin, Rock Prairie, and Augustana, Elizabeth.
