Installation of Pastor Kesterson

On the big day at St. Stephen Lutheran, many of Pastor Kesterson’s extended family were present (see photo below). The same day the congregation celebrated the anniversary of its sanctuary (it had belonged to a funeral home and was permanently moved to the site 25 years ago). Don Drews narrated a slide show that depicted the move, the construction of a foundation, and the reassembly of the building. Before this the congregation had met in rented facilities.Installation of Pastor Kesterson

Greetings to my friends in Christ,

It started out like any January Sunday in Wisconsin. It was cold. But it was the first Sunday in the month so that meant that we would share Communion in our morning service. It was January 2, 2011, and we were going to install our new pastor that afternoon.New Pastor at Luther Memorial Church

In December, 1960, God led members of Pinehurst and Ascension Lutheran congregations to apply the Lord’s directive (Romans 16:17-18) and leave that fellowship due to unionistic activities of the ELS synod. Under the leadership of Pastors Arvid Gullerud and Keith Olmanson a new congregation, Messiah Lutheran, was formed on December 18, 1960.Anniversary Celebration – Messiah, Eau Claire, Wisconsin
