It was a joy to host Pr. Dan Kuckuck from the Southeastern Iowa Synod, ELCA this past Sunday as we gathered for worship and conversation around the first year of Pastor Eric's ministry with us!

Thank you for sharing the Word and conversation! And thanks be to God for the accompaniment of the Spirit throughout all the transitions and journey toward Pr. Eric's call last year!
