Senior
Pastor Call Committee news:
In early August, the synod office
provided the call committee with the name of a
candidate for consideration. The call committee has
met with the candidate both informally and more
formally through an interview. Following the
interview, it was mutually agreed by the candidate
and the call committee that the discernment process
should continue. The call committee expects to
observe the candidate preach and lead worship in
early October and expects to hold a second interview
with the candidate at the same time. The
congregation is encouraged to keep the call
committee and the candidate in your prayers as they
seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit in mutually
determining if the candidate is God’s choice to be
our next senior pastor.

Appetite for America by Stephen Fried
Prior to Coca-Cola,
America’s biggest brand name was “Fred Harvey”. Long
before McDonalds or Starbucks, Fred Harvey created
the first national business chain in America. His
series of trackside and union station restaurants,
hotels, bookstores and shops built along the Santa
Fe railroad system were the first national chain of
anything. Author
Stephen Fried
details the story in
his book, Appetite for America, How
Visionary Businessman Fred Harvey Built a Railroad
Hospitality Empire that Civilized the Wild West.
Among other firsts, Fred Harvey established the
first major female workforce in America, “The Harvey
Girls”, which inspired an Oscar-winning MGM musical
starring Judy Garland. With period photos,
maps, and recipes from the Fred Harvey chefs, this
historical biography paints a rich picture of the
era.
