Council Candidate Biographies
|
|
Three years ago, my wife Teresa and I transferred our membership from Clinton Heights Lutheran Church to Advent. We have one son, Scott who is married to Lisa, and we have two beautiful granddaughters, Lauren and Kayla. When I get time, I enjoy frustrating myself on the golf course.
While at Clinton Heights, I served multiple times on Church Council, serving twice as Council Chair. As the Chairman of the Building Committee, I was directly involved in fund raising and overseeing major Church improvement projects. These included remodeling the Women’s Bathroom, the Parish Hall and Kitchen remodeling, the new Cooling Tower installation and the Replacement Window project.
If elected to serve, my priority will be to help our Council and our Congregation to do God’s work at his earthly home, here at Advent Lutheran Church.

I have been a member of Advent since the fall of 1999. Currently, I serve on the Alter Guild and as an usher. I volunteer on behalf of Advent at the YWCA Family Center (a.k.a. IHN) with four other Upper Arlington Churches.
I taught Sunday School from 2000 to 2015, and served on the Social Concerns Committee. Previously, I also served on Council.
I work as an Administrative Secretary for Heart and Vascular Services at Riverside Methodist Hospital and live in Clintonville. You can find me between services reading a good thriller or perhaps practicing a new ballroom dance step.
Thanks for thinking of me!

June is a great month to hear some top notch preaching here at Advent!
On
June 17 daughter of this congregation and Princeton Seminary student
Jessica Cronau will be preaching for us.
On
June 24 we will hear from
Pastor Will Saunders, who retired as the pastor of Advent a few years ago but hasn't dropped a beat when it comes to preaching the good news of Christ! His style of preaching is infectious and his love of Christ is contagious! At 9:45 a.m. Pastor Saunders will be explaining how the new Lutheran Social Service Food Pantry works during the Sunday School hour.
These are certainly DON'T WANT TO MISS SUNDAYS! Mark your calendars today!

3rd Sunday after Pentecost
|
A house divided against itself cannot stand. Jesus makes this observation in light of charges that he is possessed. He is possessed, not by a demon, but by the Holy Spirit. We who have received the Holy Spirit through baptism have been joined to Christ's death and resurrection and knit together in the body of Christ. Those with whom we sing and pray this day are sisters and brothers of the Lord. With them we go forth in peace to do the will of God.

For quite a while now our basketball hoop hasn't been looking its best. So Pastor Aaron got some paint and a ladder and started. And just like a pickup game game of basketball, there was some pickup help to reach those high places Pastor Aaron couldn’t. Thanks to Mike Deeter, Carl Lahman, and Chris Baran for the assists!
