Words of Thanks and Acknowledgments
We wish to express our thanks to the congregations that we serve in Jamestown, North Dakota- Trinity Lutheran and St. John’s Lutheran for the gift of time to have these conversations. To the congregation members, leaders, and staff who accepted new and expanded responsibilities during this time, we are very grateful. A special word of thanks to Rev. Carla Thompson-Powell for proofreading, editing suggestion, and helpful comments.
We also thank the congregations, leaders, and participants who opened their buildings (and ZOOM windows) to us. Your willingness to share your stories serves God and the Church well during this time of learning for everyone.
