Sunday, January 18th, following the services at Mt. Calvary in Diamond Bar, California, where I am completing my interim ministry, I received a phone call from Trinity Lutheran Church in Gadsden, Alabama, informing me of their decision to call me as there new pastor.

It is with great delight in the Lord and gratitude for his guidance and direction that I have accepted His call through the good people at Trinity. Nelda and I will be moving from our home of the last 22 years in Anaheim at the end of February to become permanent residents of the great state of Alabama and servants of the congregation in Gadsden. We thank Jesus for leading us into this new adventure and our many friends for their prayers and support.
