OUR SYMPATHIES - To Pastor Renae and family on the passing of Renae’s father William “Bill” Koehler on January 11th.  Funeral services were held on Wednesday January 14th at St. Paul’s U.C.C. Church, rural Tecumseh. Please keep Pastor Renae and family in your prayers.

THANK YOU - Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for the outpouring of love, prayers, and kindness you shared with me and my family after my father’s death last Sunday. Your presence at his funeral, your cards, and the beautiful floral arrangement with the wooden angel all meant the world to me.   

​

I am especially grateful to those who covered worship services and classes for me so that I could be fully present with my family. One of my greatest comforts is knowing that my father had the chance to come here to Zion Lutheran Church and see me so genuinely happy. He knew, before he passed, that I was where I belonged, surrounded by a community of love. 

    ~  With deep gratitude, Pastor Renae Koehler
