Upcoming Events
Pastor Skyle will be away for Continuing
Education next Monday through Sunday. If you have a Pastoral Emergency during
this time, please contact the church office.
Our New Seminarian —We officially welcome Vicar Rebekah Nelson as our 2019-2020 field education
student. Vicar Rebekah is in her first year at United Lutheran Seminary, after
serving 12 years in the United States Marine Corps. She is currently serving in
the United States Army Reserve, which means that one Sunday a month, she will
be with us in spirit as she serves. Upon completion of her seminary degree and
first call in a congregation, Vicar Rebekah hopes to continue to serve in
active duty as a U.S. Army Chaplain. We are grateful for your presence with us,
and for your service to our country, Vicar Rebekah! Welcome.
A field
education student serves for 8-10 hours a week, with the intention to help the
student move from lay leader-ship into a pastoral role. A typical week includes
Sundays at Trinity, and supervisory sessions with Pastor Skyle on a regular
basis. The field ed student is not a full-time intern or part-time co-op
student (as Vicar Micah was.)

Chialastri was re-elected to a 3 year term and Nancy Klein was also re-elected
