"Worship Anew" (formerly known as Worship for Shut-ins) is a 30 minute Lutheran television worship service. It includes the readings for the day, prayers, and a Lutheran pastor delivering a message that is one-on-one to the viewer.
Since 1965, WFSI television broadcasts have been bringing church to the shut-in and many others. The program was conceived and produced by the Rev. Oswald Bertram at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Toledo, Ohio. It continued after his death in 1979 under the leadership of Pastor Jim Stalder and Pastor John Westra at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The program director was Ray Huebschmann. Worship Anew (formerly WFSI) continues to provide a unique link between the church, its shut-in members, and many others.
