211 Sumner Worship Community Pastor Call Update
The Call Recommendation Committee has formed and begun its work as we continue the process of calling our next 211 Sumner Worship Community Pastor!

The Nebraska District of the LCMS reviewed the candidates while the committee met to establish expectations and prepare for the next steps in the process. We're grateful for those serving on the committee and ask that you continue praying for them, our church leadership, and the pastor God is preparing to serve our congregation. We look forward to sharing updates as the process continues.
