For the last several years, St. Michael has partnered with the Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary to provide prayers and support for Kristy Buyok through the Seminarian Partner Program. Last Sunday, December 13, Kristy was ordained and has accepted a call to serve as the pastor of St. John’s Lutheran Church in Pomeria, South Carolina.

On Sunday, December 13, St. Michael took a wonderful Journey to Bethlehem. The Youth did a fantastic job with the Christmas program. We enjoyed a delicious meal together, made some Christmas crafts and learned to play carols on the bells. Thank you to everyone who made this journey so enjoyable.

At the Congregational Council Meeting on December 13, Lori Anne Kirk, Michelle Pasier and Randy Robinson were elected to serve three year terms on the Congregational Council. We extend our thanks to Ben Simmers and Tammy Veit who will finish their service on the Council at the end of 2009.
