Beloved in Christ,

The installation service for Rev. Peter Gregory at Our Savior Lutheran Church in Westminster, MA was a splendid affair.  At least 17 LCMS pastors were present besides District President, Rev. Timothy Yeadon.  My nephew, Rev. (almost Dr.) Jason Lane preached the sermon.  (He’s the guy serving now at Associate Professor of Theology at Concordia University – Mequon, WI.)  President Yeadon officiated the Rite of Installation and newly installed pastor, Rev. Gregory officiated over the Sacrament of Holy Communion.  The reception was held at a banquet hall in Gardner, MA and it was festivities galore.  What a joyous time in our church body!  Continue to pray for this newly installed pastor, that he, his wife Kristin, and there three children (another one on the way) will continue well making the transition and getting to know the members at Our Savior and for a blessed partnership in the Gospel.

Please make every effort to join us for our midweek Lenten worship on Wednesdays at 7:00PM.  Our Lenten suppers are at 6:00PM.

Blessings to you in Christ this week!
