I took a brief sabbatical from my sabbatical on Friday night, June 6, to present our own Marsha Anderson to Bishop Bolick and the North Carolina Assembly in Hickory and said,
"I present for ordination to the holy ministry of Word and Sacrament Marsha Kate Anderson, who has been prepared, examined, and approved for this ministry and who has been called by the Church to the office of pastor."
The assembly responded with a loud, "Thanks be to God." And we in Marsha's home congregation respond as well, "Thanks be to God" for Marsha's hearing and responding to the call of God to serve God's people. Pastor Marsha will be doing a two year residency at Trinity Lutheran Church in Morehead, MN.
