The Church of the Lutheran Confession (sic) Is Also Shrinking

 








Someone contacted me about previously serving as the pastor at Faith (CLC)  in New Ulm, MN. Once that was established, I was asked to provide a photo from those years, because they are making a pastor picture wall.  Would you be able to share?

I am always willing to share pre-historic photos when asked, so I sent one. 


"Actually I am looking for a picture of you about the time you served.  We are making a pastor picture wall.  Would you be able to share?" 

This was the bonus - "I have to say you have aged well.  Do you have one of you for back then. I have one of you and your wife.  But you two are to (sic) close for me to her not showing."

The emails ended with "Ok. TY. Have a wonderful"

Faith in New Ulm no longer holds worship services, as far as I could tell. They closed the Nicollet parish many years go. Sleepy Eye has a CLC (sic) parish, so maybe they have enough space for all the previous pastors.


Donkey basketball fills the rafters at the CLC high school/college/seminary, so they might want to increase the franchise.
