Orcas Lutherans seek input on future services | Letter

The Lutherans in the San Juans are in search of a term call pastor, and I have the honor of serving on the committee. One of the concepts suggested is to locate someone who will serve the branches on Lopez and San Juan Islands, with the branch on Orcas not being served. This suggestion has primarily been made because of the dwindling numbers of participants on Orcas.

The Lutherans in the San Juans are in search of a term call pastor, and I have the honor of serving on the committee. One of the concepts suggested is to locate someone who will serve the branches on Lopez and San Juan Islands, with the branch on Orcas not being served. This suggestion has primarily been made because of the dwindling numbers of participants on Orcas.

The Orcas branch has several options, and it is extremely important to hear from present and past members of the branch, others who might be so-called “closet Lutherans,” and community members about their vision for the future of a Lutheran presence on this island.

The Orcas branch wishes to solicit your thoughts and comments. Please forward your thoughts via e-mail to Bea vonTobel, bvt99@rockisland.com or phone 376-4462. We need to hear from you! Thanks for listening and responding.
