Pastor Squires

The installation service was amazing. It was planned with such care and attention to our family and to the glory of God. Ben gave the benediction over a choral alleluia. Stunning!

The moment of truth... no turning back now! For me it was when the moving truck drove away and I realized all our stuff is here, so I guess we need to stay. I imagine this might have been it for Ben.

Laying hands on Ben is Pastor Jahn, the circuit counselor for our area LCMS churches. Witnessing is our dear friend Tom Chryst, a friend from the seminary who is a pastor in southern Wisconsin.

A stack o' Squires.

WOW!
The sacred declaration of commitment between pastor and congregation feels like a marriage, in a way, doesn't it?

You belong together now. You will take care of each other. You will grow together. Praise God!
