4 Dearest Brothers and Sisters in Christ, All is good at Lund Lutheran! This is not an opinion, because I ve have Jesus by the hand and He has lovingly told us Peace, I am with you. We have great ministers set for spreading the word in June. We are working on a congregational workshop on transition. We have our organist, secretary, council, women s group and people thirsty for the words of Jesus. It is so exciting and wonderful following Jesus! God bless all of us on our new adventure. Pray for Lund, for the council, and for each other and remember Jesus is in control. God Bless You, Robin Turnwall President Pastor Jim s last day to preach at Lund was Sunday, May 28th we wish him well on his retirement. May God Bless you and Barb on your future. 4
