About
Since 1980, Lutheran Ministries Media, Incorporated in Fort Wayne, Indiana has broadcast weekly worship services for those who seek to hear the message of God's Word; but the weekly televised worship service, that we now know as Worship Anew, has a beginning that started over 50 years ago. The program began with a pastor from Iowa, Rev. Oswald Henry Bertram, who had a vision for using technology to reach those in need of Christ’s love and salvation.
Shortly following a move to Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Toledo, Ohio in 1964, Bertram approached a local television station about creating a televised weekly worship service, ultimately convincing them to produce Worship for Shut-Ins. The program was filmed at WSPD-TV in Toledo and first aired in 1965.
