Pastor-Elect

Today I announced to my beloved sheep at Peace With Christ Lutheran Church that I have accepted the call to serve as pastor of Saint John's Lutheran Church in Accident, Maryland.


Saint John's Lutheran Church in the Cove, Accident, Maryland

I cannot speak highly enough of the people at Peace With Christ.  Without exception they received the news with love.  My afternoon has included lots of hugs (apparently I don't need to breathe anymore), lots of tears, and lots of encouragement.  The people at Peace With Christ are happy for me, and they all think that I'm going to be a great pastor for the people in Accident.

I have to say that I'm really excited.  I am looking forward to serving the saints in the Cove.  I already love them dearly, and I can't wait to meet them all and feed them with the Lord's gifts.  Please pray for me, Peace With Christ, and Saint John's in the Cove.
