Approaching 100 years old, St. John’s is a small congregation in the small town of Wallace, Texas, population 1200.

Pastor Kirstin Springmeyer is stepping down this month. Kirstin is a chaplain at Houston Childrens’ Hospital’s NICU, who has faithfully served this congregation for the last four years. This Sunday she had the unique privilege of baptizing one of the infants of the congregation who had recently been on her unit.

Look who I bumped into: Paul and Marie Monroe. Paul was our Synod treasure for many years.
