As a result of our positive vote at the Special Congregational Meeting on Sunday Feb. 3 a "Letter of Call" has been completed for Pastor Thad Fisher. It is being signed by the Rev. Wayne Miller of the Metropolitan Chicago Synod and then going to Pastor Thad for his acceptance. Please keep Pastor Thad, his family and our entire Congregation in your prayers as we continue to move forward.
(While it appears we are mostly completed with all tasks be aware that the items remaining take the longest to complete.)
