Pastor Kelley Baxter is a daughter of our
congregation. She has completed a program of study at Lutheran Theological
Seminary at Gettysburg. Seminarian Kelley received a call from a congregation in
central Pennsylvania. On Saturday, July 18th 2009, we were thankful to be
a part of the congregation at the Rite of Ordination and the Rite of
Installation at St Paul Lutheran Church, Pine Grove Mills, PA.
