Introduction of Interim Minster

Dear Friends,
This is the first of, hopefully, a monthly connection I make with you. Sometimes it may hold little more than announcements for the upcoming months. Sometimes there may be some information about the church season we’re in at the moment. Sometimes, well, maybe you’re getting the idea. It will be a bit of a potpourri of subjects that for some reason or other I find pertinent. If I’m fortunate, you may find them helpful or interesting too.
I believe I’ll use this first one as a brief introduction. I came to Nevada in April of 1985 when I was part of a team called to serve St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Carson City, Nevada. I became the sole pastor of St. Paul’s, if I remember correctly, in January of 1990. After serving there for 29 years it was time to retire and that took place at the end of June, 2014. I have three grown children, Ben, Rachel and Jono. Ben and Rachel have children and Jono just married so I now pretty much feel like they are on the way. Elizabeth and I were married in September of 2007 and live in Carson City.
We have met many of you but I suspect that there are still a number to meet. I hope that we can find ways to connect in the coming months as Faith Lutheran engages the process of calling its new Pastor. We’ll have work to do, but we’ll be doing it together.
That’s about all for this newsletter. Elizabeth and I wish to express our thanks to all of you who have been so welcoming in numerous ways to Faith Lutheran. We look forward to meeting more of you.
Peace,
Stan
