Celebrating an Anniversary

On May 12, I have been invited to be the guest preacher for my former congregation in Salisbury, NC as they celebrate the congregation ’s 250th anniversary. This is such a significant time for them and quite frankly, for me too. It shouldn’t be too difficult for us here at St. Jacob ’s to imagine such a celebration, for in just two short years, we will celebrate our 250th (although we know our congregation was formed several years before). I am honored that the folks at Union Lutheran Church have invited me to be with them in their celebration. It will be a great day filled with worship, music, and renewed relationships. Truly, I can’t wait until we have the opportunity to share our 250 year long heritage with the greater church and the many saints with whom we have shared the Gospel throughout our history. In my absence, our elders will lead worship as they have done several times in the past, but I will certainly be with you in spirit and prayer.
