Stepping Stone for Martin Rathjen and Recognition of Ministry Anniversaries
Greetings!
On Sunday, May 22, at the 9 a.m. worship service, we will be honoring Martin Rathjen for his 20 years of Faith Formation Ministry at Immanuel. Martin has led Immanuel’s Confirmation programs, Stepping Stones, and has overseen our Faith Formation ministry since 2002. Over the years Martin has been one of God’s greatest blessings to the people of Immanuel, especially our families and young people! We are so glad he is still sharing his gifts and talents with Immanuel as our Communications Director, but we want to honor the gifts Martin has shared. As Martin has led our Stepping Stones Ministry at Immanuel, a ministry that celebrates significant moments in the lives of young people and families, it is appropriate that we celebrate this stepping stone for Martin.
Recognition of Ministry Anniversaries
We will also recognize 3 special ministry anniversaries at the 9 a.m. worship on Sunday, May 22. We will give thanks for:
-
Pastor Bob Toso, an Immanuel member, celebrates his 50th Anniversary of Ordination.
-

-
Martin Rathjen who celebrates 25 years as an Associate in Ministry/Deacon.
We look forward to recognizing and celebrating these faithful servants in worship. See you on Sunday, May 22nd!
Pastor Paul
