Other than a white – and windy – Christmas, the Detroit area has been pretty much snow-free for the first third of our winter. That was, until yesterday. The forecast when I went to bed on Tuesday was for the snow to start around 8:00 a.m., but when I opened the garage door at 6:00 a.m. it had already been snowing for 10-15 minutes.
As Pastor Hetzner attended his final BOD meeting (Pastor Corbett attending for orientation), the following steps were outlined: 1) The call committee will be conducting interviews of candidates on Thursday (1/19). 2) Pastor Corbett will be installed as Vacancy Pastor during the morning service on Sunday, February 12 (and begin his serving on February 20).

You will indeed go out with joy and be peacefully guided; the mountains will break into singing before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands, for Jesus, the Word made flesh, was given to die for you, and by his blood you are made new. As a called and ordained servant of Jesus, I therefore forgive you all your sins, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

With retirement a month from today, I am reflecting back on some of the formative times when the narrative began. Monica and I grew up in the same church and met when the three one-room schools were consolidated into the new building. It was in January. She was in the fourth grade, and I was in the fifth.
As members of the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod (LC-MS), we subscribe to the three ecumenical creeds (Apostles, Nicene and Athanasian) and the Christian faith as confessed in the Book of Concord.

No, I am not talking about a bank … that would be Fifth Third – whatever that means. And I am not even talking about first-time experiences for me. I am talking about five different individuals who all reached out to STL for the first time this past week! How exciting – and, since they reached out in three different ways, we probably could add a third to this fifth!
Have mercy on us. In your compassion forgive us our sins, known and unknown, things done and left undone. Uphold us by your Word and Spirit so that we may live and serve you in newness of life, blessing all with the love of Jesus; in his name we pray.
