2 Our newsletter is directed to the members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and other friends whose support of the Church s work enables Kathy and me to serve in the Cradle of the Reformation under the auspices of ELCA Global Missions. We are specifically grateful to our sponsoring congregations and individuals: First Lutheran Church of Colorado Springs, CO Bern Lutheran Church of Leesport, PA Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church of Lehighton, PA Zion s Stone Church of West Penn Township, PA Len and Susan Teich of Houston, TX Tom and Shelia Moore of Dallas, TX REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR Our Work in Leipzig and Wittenberg (May June) One of the joys of serving in Wittenberg and Leipzig is to preach and preside in the liturgies. In May Robert was invited to preach outside of Leipzig for an outdoor worship on top of a mountain made from one of the nearby, enormous surface coal mines. I was pleased to preach on the Day of Pentecost in the Castle Church in Wittenberg. With Pastor Matthias Lehman for an annual outdoor service. Robert was invited to preach. With Pastor Friedrich Kramer in the Castle Church of Wittenberg on Pentecost 2

6 Construction of New Offices (August) The construction site for new offices for the ELCA Wittenberg Center and the Lutheran World Federation Center is progressing. The City of Wittenberg invited the ELCA and LWF to share new offices as we carry out a new phase of work following the 500 th Anniversary Year of the Reformation. Robert stands in front of the new offices for the ELCA and the LWF Offices. Back side of the new offices in Wittenberg We expect occupation of the new offices will take place just after the New Year. An apartment is available for rent for guest scholars, pilgrims and volunteers as the need arises. We are looking forward to developing a series of conferences to involve our global partners in ministry on topics involving Lutheran identity, the Small Catechism, leadership & Lutheran tradition, and other themes. We cannot say Thank you enough to our hosts during the eight weeks in the U.S. Gary and Gretchen Miertschin (Houston) Ashley and Anne Hall (Omaha) Beverly Davis (Houston) Barbara and Ron Wilt (Austin) Katheryne and Steve Aufill (Lubbock) Clarance and Denise Smith (Minneapolis) Betty and Fred Rubner (Milwaukee) 2
