In the daily work of our church, we see glimpses of the goodness and generosity of those around us. We continue to receive the support of congregations throughout the nation; and we are truly grateful for the support provided by Cullman area churches.
St. John's Protestant church hosted the wedding of Beth Gonstad and Matthew Stevens, who had planned to get married at Christ Lutheran. St. John's, which hosted our first worship service after the storm, is also providing space for our WELCA meetings.
The Benedictine Sisters of the Sacred Heart Monastery in Cullman have offered us the use of their chapel and cafeteria for worship and fellowship. These are good spaces, full of light and cheer, conducive to community. Our fellowship precedes our worship each week, and gives us time to gather, think, plan, and pray.
We were visited on Pentecost Sunday by the Rev. Delmer Chilton, Assistant to the (Southeastern Synod) Bishop, Julian Gordy; and by the Rev. Deborah Halter, Coordinator of Pastoral Care for the Southeastern Synod. Pastor Chilton discussed the role of the Synod and the ELCA in our planning and rebuilding efforts.
Last and certainly not least, St. Paul's (LCMS) Lutheran is host site of our Monday morning Bible study. To these congregations and communities, a hearty and humble 'thank you.'
