I come from an LCMS church-worker family. My parents were both Lutheran elementary teachers, and my father was the director of music (church organist and choir director) at Peace Lutheran Church in Saginaw, Mich., for 39 years. I want to support and strengthen the Lutheran ministry at Concordia, St. Paul, and promote the growth of training Lutheran pastors and teachers to serve our congregations, schools, and Synod.

Pause and Pray at 3:07 p.m.

At 3:07 each day, remember John 15:7 and pray for Christ's Church, the convention, our leaders, and the work of the Gospel among us.
