Our call committee of Dianne Yungblut, Bob Hansen and Melanie Funk Laskaris have been meeting almost weekly ( via Zoom ) for the past several months in preparation for this process.

The call committee from First Lutheran consists of Mike Bernatz, Claudia Brema and Merle Nielsen.

Restrictions due to Covid-19 have delayed this process. Meeting dates have been changed and rearranged several times.

A Zoom meeting has been tentatively arranged for April 15 with Pastor Reble from the synod office and the two call committees. My understanding is that there are interested candidates.

I will update members of the congregation as I am able.

We pray for God`s guidance as this process moves forward. We thank our call committee for their dedication to this process on behalf of St. Matthew`s.

Peace and stay safe
