๐ธ๐๐๐ ๐ฆ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ฅ:
My brothers and sisters in Jesus at St. Matthewโs Danube, St. John Renville, and St. Matthew Flora Township,
After prayerful deliberation I have accepted the Call to serve at First Lutheran Church and School of Elkhorn Wisconsin.
Though such deliberation of a Call is a struggle, through that struggle there is blessing. During this deliberation process God has once again reminded me of his undeserved and unfailing love. For the experience that I have gained over the last 15 years, the lessons he has taught me, the lives that were touched by the good news of the gospel, I am forever grateful. I trust that the same faithful God will lead and guide me and our whole family of believers through this time of transition and change. I take great solace in the words of the psalmist that are my own claim through Godโs gift of faith, "๐๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฆ๐ฒ ๐๐ก๐๐ฉ๐ก๐๐ซ๐, ๐ ๐ฌ๐ก๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ง๐จ๐ญ ๐๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐ฐ๐๐ง๐ญ." (Psalm 23:1) Please know that our Good Shepherd will care for all of our needs as he graciously sees fit.
God bless you and may God bless our work in his kingdom. And dear people of God, "๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค๐๐ซ๐ฌ, ๐๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ฏ๐๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฎ๐ฅ, ๐๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค๐๐ซ๐ฌ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐๐ฐ." (Luke 10:2)
To the Lamb who is our Shepherd be praise and glory and honor, now and forever!
In Christ,
Pastor Mike Kuschel
