Ordination Anniversary Celebration

On August 20, Pastor Ralph Andersen celebrates the 65th anniversary of his ordination into ministry. In 1961, Pastor Ralph was installed as pastor at Immanuel Lutheran in Kimballton and served there until 1966. Pastor Ralph went on to serve at St. Paul Lutheran in Cedar Falls (1966–1978), First Lutheran in Ottumwa (1978–1993), and Faith (now Unity) Lutheran in Burlington (1993–2001). Throughout his years in ministry, Pastor Ralph participated in several synodical committees and task forces as well as various community organizations and non-profits. In retirement, Pastor Ralph has served as interim pastor for many congregations and still continues to provide pulpit supply several Sundays per month. Pastor Ralph's favorite part of ministry is “communicating and sharing the faith,” and his hope for the church is that it continues to do just that. We give thanks for Pastor Ralph's years of faithful ministry and continued service to God's people.

St. Paul's has been blessed and thankful for Pastor Andersen's service for several years now.
