This past Sunday afternoon
Valley of Peace Lutheran had a service of installation for its new pastor, Christine Bellefeuille. In addition to members of the church there were a host of pastors from nearby churches, members from her previous congregation, St. Barnabas Lutheran, and many other friends/family members.

Pastor Sue Tjornehoj, who helped through the call process, provided the sermon. I was pleased to work with Pastor Tjornehoj and others from Valley of Peace while heading up the transition team.
It is delightful for the church to have such a positive result, after the somewhat arduous process required by the ELCA to call a new pastor. Valley of Peace was blessed to have wonderfully skilled interim pastor in the person of Pastor Dick Magnus, previous to Pastor Bellefeuille's calling.
