Dear members of St. Stephen’s,
With a grateful heart, I share with you today that Pastor Dorn informed me that the
voters of St. Stephen’s have extended a call to me to serve as principal and teacher at
St .Stephen’s Lutheran School. I am both humbled and excited for the opportunity to
reflect as I deliberate this call.
I trust that the Holy Spirit will guide me through prayerful deliberation on where to best
serve God’s Kingdom. As I consider both of my calls, to St. Stephen’s and my current
congregation, I ask for your prayers and guidance.
Please feel free to contact me over the next several weeks if you have insights or
encouragement to share. I welcome it. In talking with Pastor and a few members, it is
already evident that there is a love and zeal for the ministry here at St. Stephen’s. I look
forward to hearing even more about your ministry at St. Stephen’s over the next few
weeks.
Compassion Conquers,
Mr. Andrew Van Weele
