As the successors of the Norwegian Synod, members of the ELS remember the oak trees at Koshkonong, Wisconsin, where in 1844 a Lutheran pastor from Norway gathered a small group of immigrants. The words of Psalm 78 directed the pastor as he answered the question, “Can God Furnish a Table in the Wilderness?” God fed His people then, as He does today, with His inspired Word and the Sacraments.
