I had a great morning at Our Savior’s in Mukwonago, located just southwest of the greater Milwaukee area. Pastor Gerry Krupp preached a good message after an inspirational time of singing and worship led by Wenda Krupp, the worship team, band, brass ensemble and children’s choir. Our Savior’s is in transition this month. Assistant Pastor Jason Butler will be leaving the end of this month. He and Alya will be moving to North Milwaukee to develop a core group and plant the Transformation City church beginning in July. Alya, who is from Russia, is spending the next few weeks in her home country with their son. Stevan and Jessica Sheets will be joining Our Savior’s the first week of July.Transformation City Church
Jason and Alya are excited about the potential of beginning a new congregation in North Milwaukee. He and Alya have found a home in the neighborhood where they will begin the work of developing their leadership team. Over lunch Jason and I had a good conversation sharing our ideas and vision for the new church. He will be sharing his vision at district conference and we will be taking a church planting offering on Thursday night. We would encourage as many who can to participate in this church plant by becoming a prayer partner.
News and Notes
Reenie and I are grandparents! Brent and Laura have a son – Jackson Daniel. He was born June 5 at 7:32 PM, and came into this world at 20 ¼”, 6 lbs. 12 oz. Reenie headed to Williston, ND to begin the grandma thing this week. Congratulations on becoming a father, Brent, on becoming an uncle, Brice and on becoming grandma, Reenie. And way to go, Laura! From what I understand, mama did all the work.Uncle Eldine
Last week Reenie’s uncle died in an accident in Marion, IN. We traveled to Indiana for the viewing and funeral on Monday and Tuesday. Rev. Eldine Landis planted the Bethel Heights church in Muncie, IN. Our family was one of the families that helped start the church. He also was my pastor in college, later becoming my senior pastor when I began ministry. His defining ministry was Brookhaven Wesleyan in Marion. His ministry was characterized by a huge, loving heart for people. Reenie’s uncle was a good man and a wonderful pastor. He will be missed.
