Ordination for Terri Elton
As was shared last week, I have been called as the pastor of hybrid ministry at Lutheran Church of Peace in Maplewood, MN and will be ordained as a pastor in the ELCA on October 8, 2022 at 10:30 am (Central) at Luther Seminary’s Chapel of the Incarnation. Bishop Patricia Lull will be presiding and Dr. Kristine Stache will be preaching.
I want to extend a personal invitation to the whole Luther community to attend and celebrate with me and the church. Luther Seminary has played a key role in forming me as a Christian public leader and it would be a joy to have students, staff, and faculty share this important day with me. Please consider coming. Rostered leaders are invited to vest and everyone is encouraged to wear red, the color of the day.
If you cannot come to campus, we are working on a virtual option, more information to come next week.
