Flashback Friday: Papa's Five Year Ordination and Installation Anniversary

On June 4, Papa marked the fifth anniversary of his ordination and installation as a pastor! We are so proud of him! In a belated gesture to this half-decade milestone, here's a few pictures from that occasion.

In front of a banner made--if I remember correctly--for the occasion. Love the Luther seal! AND Papa's smile. :)

Papa's stole was a gift to him from the congregation of Redeemer Lutheran Church, Lancaster, Ohio.

All the pastors present at the ordination and installation. Back row, L to R: n/a, Mark Mumme, Ken Wieting, Tom Mickelson, n/a. Front row: Gary Klatt, Bill Sabol, Evan Schiller, Papa, Brian Thorson, Steve Weiss, Bob Beinke. Two dear mentor pastors to Papa were there; several friends, several circuit and area pastors also. Now two pictured here are godfathers to our sons, too!
I love this picture!
