Sunday, February 25th, Bishop Stephen Bouman of our Metropolitan New York Synod will preach on the First Sunday in Lent. We will be joined by representatives of Lutheran HealthCare, including Wendy Z. Goldstein, President and CEO, and Rev. Donald A. Stiger, Senior Vice President for Mission and Spiritual Care, who will make a presentation in memory of Caroline Erskine, a late member of this congregation. Ms. Erskine left a bequest of $470,000 to St. John-St. Matthew-Emanuel, and more than $1,800,000 to Lutheran HealthCare. February 25th is the annual commemoration day of Sister Elisabeth Fedde, who founded Lutheran Medical Center more than 120 years ago. A special coffee hour, sponsored by Lutheran HealthCare, follows worship. Be sure to be with us for this very special day in the life of our congregation.
