Pastor Martin says farewell

Pastor Christopher Martin’s last Sunday at Emmons Lutheran Church was July 22. A special farewell was held for him during fellowship. He had served Emmons Lutheran for 5-1/2 years. Pastor Martin has taken a call to St. John’s Vilmar. He, with his wife, Lindsay, and children Bradon, Zachary, and Cassie, has moved to rural Greene.
 
The interim pastor, Rev. David E. Schafer’s first Sunday at Emmons was Aug. 26. Pastor Schafer and his wife, Loretta, live in Waukon. The church will hold a “meet the pastor get-together” during their Sunday School Kick-off Saturday, Sept. 8, with fun for the families and potluck supper.
