A Message from Pastor Strobel:
   

Pastor’s Page

Good Friday is preparation for Easter. Good Friday began as a simple fast day that prepared Christians both for the death and resurrection of Christ. As Good Friday gained in prominence two of the earliest aspects of the Good Friday service to take shape were the reading of the passion narrative and the veneration of the cross.

On Friday, April 2^nd we will gather at Holy Trinity to hear John’s passion narrative, process the cross, and pray the ancient Bidding prayer. The Bidding prayer opens the Christian community to the concerns of the entire cosmos. It is at the foot of the cross that we pray for all people; those who profess a faith in Christ and those who are devout believers’ in various world religions. The Bidding pray allows us the opportunity to lift up people throughout the world who are preparing for Christian baptism. We stand at the foot of the cross and pray for God’s reign to transform the entire world. It is in the cross that we acknowledge God’s desire to reconcile all of God’s creation to God’s self.

:Blessings, Pastor Ron.

Bio of Pastor Stobel
2010

I was born in Rhinebeck New York, the son of a Lutheran minister. I have a younger brother who works as a traveling sales representative. My parents currently live in Indianapolis Indiana. I grew up mostly in Fort Wayne Indiana. I attended college at Wittenberg University in Springfield Ohio. After graduation I lived in Baltimore Maryland. I attended seminary at the Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago.

Mary and I met in the summer of 2004. We were married on October 8^th, 2005. For the first four years of our marriage we lived in five different places in and around Chicago IL. We are excited to live in a hospitable town like Chassell.

I enjoy a variety of outdoor activities. I especially enjoy hiking and camping. Mary and I are looking forward to participating in all of the winter activities this area has to offer. I am a passionate college football fan and enjoy watching hockey. I cheer for the Big Ten conference during the football season. My favorite hockey team is the Fort Wayne Komets. The Komets currently play in the new International Hockey League. This league is a low level minor league that self describes itself as AA. The Komets have called Fort Wayne home since 1952.

I am passionate about preaching, youth ministry and community involvement. Our congregation benefits if our surrounding community is strong. Mary and I are looking forward to putting roots down in the Chassell community. We look forward to the opportunity to build relationships at Holy Trinity and in the surrounding community.

Blessings,

Pastor Ron
