Pastor Pete Final Sunday at PVLC
Pastor Pete has accepted a call to serve as pastor at Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church in Polk City, Iowa. His last Sunday at PVLC will be January 25. Please keep him and his family in your prayers as they make this transition.
Small Farewell Reception
There will be no Sunday school or Bible study on Sunday, January 25. Instead, we will have a small reception with baked goods/pastries to say farewell to Pastor Pete and Bethany as they leave us here at Park View Lutheran. For kids, there will be games and crafts in the Sunday School area. Questions??? Contact Jill Grunwald.
Pastry Sign Up Sheet
There is a pastry/baked good sign-up sheet on the kiosk if you’d like to donate.
Nomination Forms
Do you know of a pastor that you believe would be a good fit as the next shepherd of Park View Lutheran Church? If so, there are nomination forms available in the front office. Prior to receiving candidates from Iowa District East, we can submit names that we believe would be fitting for our congregation. Upon completion of the Nomination Forms, they are to be turned into the head elder (Scott Campbell) or the chairman (Joshua Elmshaeuser), either in person, or to their respective boxes in the front office. Everyone’s prayerful consideration of candidates is appreciated.
- Joshua Elmshaeuser, Chairman
