Calling a pastor is a work of the Holy Spirit. Working through the Call Committee, the Synod, the Council, and the whole Church, the Spirit brings together pastor and people in a relationship of love. That means that before any paperwork is done, before any interviews take place, we must be a people in prayer.
We want to invite you to make prayer of the calling of a new Pastor for Care & Community a part of each day for the next months as the Spirit works among and through us. We ask that you pray for:
- Bishop Amy Current and Pastor Dan Kuckuck, our synodical partners in this process.
- The Call Committee which includes the following: Brent Wilson, Chair; Michelle Haupt, Secretary; Jason Dietz, Kristofer Orth, Rita Samuelson, Kristin Tague, Asta Twedt, and Pastor Tim.
A Prayer for Our Congregation
Blessed and Holy Trinity, in you we live, move, and have our being. You called the prophets, sent the apostles, and consecrated your saints through the power of the Holy Spirit. In the same way we ask that you would bless the work of our synod and of our Call Committee as we seek to call a new Pastor for Care & Community. Stir up in your church a faithful servant who will answer your call to love this congregation and receive your love through us. We ask this in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen.
