Koehler Installation & Ordination
Please join us on Sunday, February 8 at 3:00 PM for a special worship service at Holy Cross Lutheran Church & School, as we celebrate the installation and ordination of Jacob Koehler as Associate Pastor to serve as our Shepherd of School.
This meaningful service will be followed by a reception in the Welcome Center, and we warmly invite you to stay and celebrate with us.
Read Jacob Koehler’s acceptance letter to the congregation.
Dear Partners in the Gospel of Jesus Christ,
Greetings in the name of our crucified, risen, and ascended Lord!
I am delighted to announce that I graciously accept the Call that you have extended to me to serve as one of your associate pastors. I give thanks to God that through the Holy Cross congregation He has called me to Word and Sacrament ministry in this place and I get to continue caring for the people that I have come to know and love.
I humbly ask for your continued prayers for me, my family, and this congregation as we participate in God’s mission here. I am grateful for the patience that you have shown toward me as I prepared for the Office of the Holy Ministry.
Together I look forward to equipping and sending God’s people to make a Christ-like difference in the world! May the peace of God be with you always.
In Christ’s service,
Jacob Koehler
