GRACE is...

 

From Interim Senior Pastor Scott Olson:

​

Welcome to the Grace Lutheran Church, Waseca, MN website! I hope you find whatever information you need about our congregation as we participate in God’s mission to love and bless the world.

​

Special Announcement

The wearing of masks at Grace is now optional for fully vaccinated persons, effective Sunday, June 13. We ask that those who have not been fully vaccinated continue to wear masks for the sake of our children. Your leadership, the Church Council, agrees that current positive conditions warrant this next step in the pandemic recovery. It’s been a long road and you’ve traveled it with grace and compassion. There is still a ways to go so let’s continue to be smart about our interactions: wash hands religiously and stay home if you are not feeling well. Let’s Go!

​

After a thorough self-study process, the church council has formed a Call Committee to seek Grace’s next senior pastor. The members of the Call Committee are:

• Kristie Biehn

• Marty Buum

• Jana Kestel

• Sophie Potter, Discovery Team Representative

• Brett Prescher, Council Representative

• Scott Singlestad

• Brian Weller

• Jewel Cariveau, Alternate

 

While the call process unfolds, the church council will be putting flesh on the bones of the strategic initiatives, mission statement, vision statement, and core values proposed by the Discovery Team. Ministry Teams are in full gear aligning their work with God’s call on Grace.

 

These are hopeful times for Grace, bolstered by the promises of new life proclaimed in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and sustained through the power of the Holy Spirit. All are welcome to participate with us in the holy work.

​

​​​In Christ's Love,     

 

Interim Senior Pastor Scott E. Olson
