To the members of St. Stephen’s Lutheran Church,
Advent Greetings Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ.
Looking at this month of December and all the preparations that have been made to celebrate the Lord’s birth, it reminds me of the mission that the Lord has placed in front of all his people: To spread the word concerning him—to be his witnesses. What an awesome responsibility the Lord has given to his people and to his called workers.
About a month ago, the congregation of King of Kings Lutheran Church, through the Lord’s guidance, placed the divine call to me to be the principal and grade 6-8 teacher. Throughout the course of the deliberation, the Lord has allowed me to refocus my mind on the mission at hand. Thank you to everyone who reached out to me in this manner.
As I do appreciate the attention that has been given to the calling process over the last month, the Lord in his wisdom has led me to return the call to King of Kings Lutheran Church.
I pray that the Lord will continue to bless the work of our congregation here at St. Stephen’s. I am glad that the Lord has led me to remain part of it.
Please keep all congregations of our synod in your prayers as the calling season continues, and the Lord continues to use HIS wisdom to place HIS workers where they are needed.
Your Servant in Christ,
David R. Schulz
