Ascension Moments: St. Michael’s Lutheran Church
Our home church has, for every year of its existence, held a service on Feast of the Ascension of Our Lord (aka Ascension Day). Up until this year, that is. Okay, I know it may sound like the church broke with a long-standing tradition… unless you also know that it was only founded in 2022,

Louvers
That’s not a really creative title, sorry. I’m not feeling super creative at the moment. Why’d I choose it? Well, because I noticed that both sides of the reconstructed bell tower had louvers installed since the last time I was out to take pictures. There’s also a lot more brick on the walls, and I
Rededication & Blessing of the 1901 Immanuel Lutheran Bell
As promised… here are some photos of the rededication and blessing of the 1901 Immanuel Lutheran Giddings bell. It sure looks nice! After the end of the service, folks got to write verses and messages inside the addition. I made sure there was one verse in Wendish: “W spočatku bě słowo, a słowo bě pola

Immanuel Lutheran Giddings Construction Progress
These pictures have been taken over the last week… they’ve been working toward pouring the slab and finally got that done this morning! Pastor Tiner gave me a heads-up that they would be doing it early in the morning, but for various reasons, I was unable to make it out before the pour was done.

Immanuel Lutheran Giddings Construction Progress
This week has been pretty busy and I haven’t had an awful lot of a chance to get out and take pictures… but we did manage to make it by Immanuel to document the progress on the addition. Looks like they’re getting pretty close to pouring the slab! Pretty soon, I’ll be able to get

The Ordination of Candidate David Woelmer
I have been to exactly three Lutheran ordinations in my (nearly) forty-eight trips around the sun. Of course, it wasn’t until my twenty-seventh year (a little over twenty-one years ago, in 2002) that I was confirmed, but even then, that’s not too many. On Sunday, July 9, the Candidate David Woelmer, a recent graduate of
