A note from Pastor Kinne
Dear Friends at St. Matthew,
The peace of the Lord be with you all as we have now entered into 2022.
Now greet the swiftly changing year
With joy and penitence sincere
Rejoice! Rejoice! With thanks embrace
Another year of grace.
LSB 896:1
I thank the Lord for you all and for keeping me and my medical condition in your thoughts and prayers. Last July I received a Stem-Cell Transplant to deal with the Multiple Myeloma that had been diagnosed in my body. The good news to share is that following my latest blood evaluation, there was no trace of Multiple Myeloma found in my system, nor was there any evidence of the protein, that causes the condition in my blood. The doctor said the words that all patients desire to hear, “You are in remission!”
The cards, letters, gifts, Facebook posts and emails have lifted my spirit as I continue through the maintenance therapy stage of this journey. I began the re-vaccination phase this past week and will continue until this November. I give thanks to the Lord our God for as through His Son, Jesus Christ, He was born to live perfectly in our place and suffer and die on the cross for the forgiveness of all our sins, rising triumphantly from the grave so that we might live eternally in heaven, He has done the same thing for me physically: He has healed me from my disease that sought to take my life and has restored health to my being.
May the blessings of the Lord be lavished upon you this year.
In the name of Jesus Christ
Pastor Timothy Kinne
