Vicar

At our last Council meeting, Grace accepted the invitation to host a vicar this coming August through September. The vicar assigned to us is Seminarian David Pfeiffer, son of ILC President, John Pfeiffer. We will be working out some of the arrangements of his vicarage in the coming weeks. David is in his second year at Immanuel Lutheran Seminary in Eau Claire, WI. He is married to Deana nee Johannes. They have two children, Samuel (2) and Joshua (8 months). We pray that David’s vicarage at Grace will be a mutual blessing!
