Our thanks to Professor Sippert for delivering the message today. We pray that he has a safe journey home and God’s continued blessings in his teaching ministry at our synod’s high school, college, and seminary. We also thank Raven Haight for her presentation on the most recent Mission Helper trip to Africa.
Faith News
Two families in our congregation were recently blessed with children. Steve and Jenna (Quade) Sartorius were blessed with a boy – Auden Alexander, and Jeremy and Randi Golz were blessed with a girl – Reagan Posey. We thank the Lord for safely bringing these children into the world, and pray that he continues to bless these children along with their parents. Reagan was baptized at Froedert Medical Center in Milwaukee on October 8.
