[MN] letter from Pastor

[Rev. Todd A. Peperkorn]

For those of you who weren't in church on Sunday, I had our head elder  
read the following letter to the congregation:



June 17, 2008

Dear friends and fellow redeemed at Messiah Lutheran Church,

This past week at their voters’ assembly service, I received a divine  
call to serve as associate pastor and principal of Immanuel Lutheran  
Church and School in Alexandria, Virginia.   Alexandria is a suburb of  
Washington, D.C.  The duties are evenly split between administration  
of their classical Lutheran academy and serving as associate pastor of  
the congregation.

It is our intention right now for Kathryn and I to try and go visit  
sometime in the next few weeks.  We hope to have a decision made  
within a month, perhaps less.  I will probably have an information  
session and bible study after church next week on June 22nd, so that  
we can discuss this together and come to a common understanding of the  
Lord’s will.

Please keep Messiah and Immanuel in your prayers, as well as Kathryn  
and I, as we seek to make the best decision for everyone involved.  I  
remain

Yours in Christ,
Todd A. Peperkorn, STM

future. The church can wait, for it does have a future. We Lutherans  
should
think of that" (The Lonely Way, Volume II, 328).
