Dear friends in Jesus,
We endure a lot of struggles and trials as we follow Jesus. Peace has experienced its share of difficulties in recent years. There will undoubtedly be more in the years to come.
The Triune God has been with us through all of them. His Word is up to good things. He has given us good reason to trust in his active presence.
That’s the main reason I’m announcing that I will stay at Peace and I have declined the call to Saint Lucas in Milwaukee. God is at work through us by his Word and Sacraments.
Thank you for all your prayers and encouragement during this process. They have been helpful. I’ve heard you and hope we keep on talking.
We’ve got plenty to do to be a congregation where people feel like they belong, where people far from the Lord clearly hear the gospel, and where we carry out the work God has given us with humility and confidence. I’m glad to partner with you in bringing people the gospel of Jesus. Let’s enjoy this!
In Christ,
Nathaniel Timmermann, along with Rachel, Clara, Lillian, Marie, Josiah, and Alex
