A Word from Pastor Kari
A word from Pastor Kari:
It is such a gift to have a congregation that is a family of faith with whom to gather for worship to be fed and nourished through word and sacrament and time together as the Body of Christ. And it is as these people of faith that we are then sent back out into the world to be the love of Jesus for others. We all know what a broken and hurting world we live in. We need to experience God’s grace for us, and the world needs that same grace, mercy, and love of Jesus that we have to share. It is exciting to think about the ministry we are called to as the presence of Jesus in this time and place. I look forward to serving with you.
