Thank You To The
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Mission
District
|
Dear Mission District partners in the gospel,
Many, many thanks to you
for your work, support, attendance, participation, leadership, and every
other way you helped to make the Installation of Bishop Zeiser
a success. Please especially share my gratitude with those of your
congregation who volunteered, served, baked, prayed, or otherwise
contributed to the event as well.
Once again, we have
served our Lord and his corner of the Lutheran church faithfully, well, and
honorably.
Pastors and pastoral
leaders are reminded to let me know, if you haven’t already done so, if you
plan on attending the mini-retreat/kick-off gathering at Bear Creek Camp
Tuesday, October 14, 10 am to 2 pm. Bishop Zeiser
will be with us through lunch, then we plan
meetings for the remainder of the year.
Thanks again.
Rev. Charles H. Grube, Pastor
St.
Paul's Lutheran Church,
Dallas, PA

Eucharistic Visitors are
members of the congregation selected by their pastor to be specially
trained to bring the communion meal from the family table at worship to homebound
members of the congregation.
Lutheran Congregational
Services has created this training program to help volunteers to learn proper
visitation techniques and background in the sacrament of Holy Communion.
This outreach keeps members
in touch with the life of the congregation by more than just their regular
visits with the pastor.
