Is your church . . .
SMALL--with fewer than 100 people in attendance on Sunday mornings?
LARGE--with many members and musical resources?
TRADITIONAL--with a deep desire to retain familiar worship patterns?
DIVERSE--offering different worship styles to members and visitors of many ages and cultures?
EVANGELISTIC--with a congregational mindset for reaching the lost?
EVALUATING--with a growing interest in new forms and music for worship?
ACTUALLY A CHAPEL--where daily worship serves high school or college students?
ACTUALLY A CLASSROOM--where children gather each day to worship the Lord?
If you answered YES to any of these questions, then you will want to attend the:
2008 Institute on Liturgy, Preaching, and Church Music
July 22-25, 2008
Concordia University Nebraska--Seward, Nebraska
From the conference brochure the the WELS National Conference on Worship, Music, and the Arts:
Who should come? Anyone whose church is:
*Small with fewer than 75 people in attendance on Sunday mornings
*Large with many members and many musical resources
*Traditional with a deep desire to retain familiar worship patterns
*Diverse with members and visitors of many ages and cultures
*Evangelistic with a congregational mindset for reaching the lost
*Evaluating with a desire to enhance worship that edifies members and guests
*Experimenting with a growing interest in new forms and music for worship
*Actually a chapel where daily worship serves high school or college students
*Really a classroom where children gather each day to worship the Lord
We don't know which was written first.
Just a coincidence? Perhaps.

THAT is a pretty good bust. Are the sources online?
The WELS one is here.
I wasn't able to find the LCMS one on the LCMS site. I believe it was only sent out on e-News to which I do not subscribe (but I have seen the email, and that's really what it says). You can set up a free account to receive it and (I think) check back issues. If you go to the LCMS website and search for e-News, it will send you to a page with an option to subscribe.

That's amazing. We can't think for ourselves these days? Oh wait, that's what gets us in trouble, isn't it?
Looks like either a case of plagiarism or both writers attended the same church growth seminar. hmmm...
