Pastor's Potluck
Flavors of the St. Paul Synod
SERMON SERIES
Join us this summer as we welcome pulpit supply pastors to preach at our church. We are excited to hear from these pastors on how they share their love for Jesus!
WEEK 6:
Sunday we welcome Pastor Steve Melander. He grew up in Chisago City, graduated from Hamline University and Luther Seminary of St. Paul. He retired from full time ministry in 2013 and has been the Visitation Pastor at Faith Lutheran Church of Forest Lake since 2013. Pastor Steve and his wife Debra enjoy living on Coon Lake. They have 5 children and 7 grandchildren ranging in age from just a little over a year to 17 years. It is his pleasure to serve as your worship leader and preacher this Sunday, August 4th!
Pastor Steve has also been covering our emergency pastoral care during our transition. Thank you Pastor Steve!
