Pastor Paul Pettersen to be Installed in Worship on Sunday, September 26 / 8:30 & 11:00 am
You may have installed a screen door or perhaps a new appliance in your kitchen. Very likely you’ve installed new batteries in a handheld device or possibly a window that needed replacing. To install is to fit together for good purpose, use and function. With that, we will be installing a new pastor at Normandale on Sunday, September 26 in worship, not because anything was broken or even needed replacing. We will be installing, because pastors need to be connected, intimately entwined with God and congregation. We install, because God sees fit to bring us together, closely called in communion with our Lord, Jesus Christ, tightly fit to work together for the kingdom.
Please come celebrate the growing relationship we have as a people of God, knit together by the Holy Spirit. Pastor Paul appreciates your prayers and welcomes the laying on of hands for the power of God given. Dr. Edward Lindell and Dr. Lloyd Svendsbye will be presiding over the installation.
Hymn Sing and Augustana Service
On Sunday, September 26 at 2:30 pm, Jack Swanson will lead a hymn sing from our special Augustana Synod Hymnal of all those good hymns that are so enjoyable to hear.
This is the 60th anniversary of our congregation’s founding in the Augustana Synod, so it is especially appropriate that, at the service which follows, we will worship with the service setting of the Augustana liturgy. In the pulpit preaching will Pastor Bill Berg, who is 100 years old, also making this day noteworthy.
After the service, follow the aroma of coffee and cardamom down to Fellowship Hall for a time of socializing with friends and honoring past workers.
