Let’s Celebrate Traci!
Sunday, August 9, 2020 will be the beginning of our celebration for 30 years of Traci Vatne’s ministry. Our worship service at Messiah Lutheran Church in Auburn, WA will include many opportunities to recognize Traci. You will not want to miss tuning in online for this very special service.
We are inviting anyone who has been impacted by Traci’s ministry to send a card, letter, email, or video sharing how Traci has impacted you and your family. These should be sent by August 1 to CelebrateTraci@gmail.com. Or they may be sent to the church at: Messiah Lutheran Church, 410 H Street NE, Auburn, WA 98002.
If you would like to make a donation to a fund to purchase a gift to celebrate Traci’s ministry (and all the support that Bruce has provided over the years), please send a check to the church by August 1st. These funds will be provided to Traci so that she and Bruce can take a special trip somewhere for rest and relaxation!
Finally, we had hoped to have a large party to celebrate Traci’s ministry. However, right now, COVID-19 has put a wrench in our plans. We want to do the party at a time when EVERYONE can come and celebrate Traci’s ministry. So, we are postponing the party until it is safe to have everyone together for this special event. Traci and Bruce are remaining in our community and so delaying the party makes the most sense. Stay tuned for more details.
