I cherish the fact I knew you and your family when you served our congregation many years ago. You are always welcome either as the preacher or as a guest. We were honored to have you preach just a couple months ago. As a longtime member of Zumbro Lutheran in Rochester, I enjoyed reading your message.

One of the topics that arose was how difficult congregational ministry can be at times. I'll never forget what you said (and have shared it with many others): "Ministry can be a joy." I had forgotten that. Thank you for reminding me again! Before we ever met, Huck, we had a conversation on the phone.

I must say it lifted me up. Lifted me up so much I can raise my head again. A few minutes earlier, you and I had a brief conversation where I indicated that our congregation will need help after the assembly. You acknowledged the challenges across the synod, including our congregation's. Now, your message of Joy heartend me. Joy and the Gospel together will win out. Thank you for the inspirational ending to the Synod Assembly. Yours in Christ, Pat Cahill Dear Bishop Usgaard,

I love to go to church but sometimes it is not possible for me to visit church but our church has software by which I can be in touch with them anywhere, anytime. It is really wonderful to get in touch with church & other member.
