Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
In the last weeks, the Lord of the Church has been making his will very clear to me through the input of leaders at both congregations, members here at St. Stephen’s, family and friends.
Considering all things, especially the needs at St. James and St. Stephen’s, the Lord has led me to return the Call to St. James in Portage, Michigan, and to remain at St. Stephen’s in Beaver Dam.
Thank you for joining me in prayers for love, wisdom and insight. I return the Call with the confidence that the Lord will give St. James in Portage, Michigan a faithful worker in his time, and will bless “infinitely more than we can ask or imagine” (Ephesians 3:20).
+ In Christ +
Pastor Paul C. Stratman
