Our New Church

By The Rev Russ

St. Michael's Lutheran Church

Buildings aren’t as exciting as people, but I found this picture of St. Michael’s Lutheran Church in Bloomington where I’ll serve as Assistant Pastor starting in just a couple short months. As for the physical building itself, it’s very nice and I actually visited once for a technology conference when I was on vicarage in Minnesota. In fact, I told the youth director from my vicarage congregation “wouldn’t it be neat to serve here some day?” Amazing how the Lord works. Things are still going well here at home. Rome is finally back on a more regular napping schedule which makes life just a little less hectic. Kris and Jack are doing well and thankfully I’ve got a pretty light load to finish up classes so it’s not too bad. Graduation is only three weeks away and I’m scheduled to be ordained and installed on July 12th at St. Michael’s. We’ve already started looking at some houses online and I’ll probably be making a trip up in May with my dad to try to find something. Though in some ways it’s very overwhelming, this is a very exciting time for us and we can’t wait to get up to Bloomington. Please keep us in your prayers as we finish up school, look for a home, and make moving plans.

    Hey guys!
    I don’t know how often you might bump into him, but Rev. Mark Johnson at Mount Calvary in Richfield, just north of your new church in Bloomington, is an old family friend of ours. He was a classmate of Dad’s at seminary. He’s an awesome guy, great sense of humor… a good guy to get to know. :-) Just wanted to throw that out there… :-)
    blessings!!
    Jen (and of course Eric and Josiah)
