ST. STEPHEN LUTHERAN CHURCH NEWSLETTER
From the Pastors’ Desk... Usually I write a newsletter article with some kind of thinkety-thunk story, with some musings and a picture. It always has to do with something about how God is working out in the world. Through the church, through us as individuals, etc. I’m totally going to veer from the script for this month. Absolutely different.
How about instead of me telling you how God is working in the world, let’s reverse those roles. How about during the month of June, you tell me what God has been up to in your life. Deal?
+Pastor Lyle Snyder
