Call Day Recap

May 1, 2025

Yesterday the church gathered for pizza & salad in the fellowship hall. We had a great turnout and filled up the fellowship hall. Thank you to all that provided food and for the call committee to organize this event. Thank you for all your prayers during this time as we prayed for the Lord to provide us with our next undershepherd. At 5pm we gathered in the sanctuary to watch the live stream of the call day service from Concordia Seminary, St Louis. The Lord is faithful and has blessed us with our next Pastor, Sean Deming.
