Friends,
You should be getting a formal “snail mail” invitation within a week or so, but in the meantime, below you will find the invitation extended to the pastors of Circuits 4 & 19 for Rev. Duane Bamsch’s installation at Grace in Grass Valley.
On November 4, 2018, beginning at 3:00 p.m., the Reverend Duane Bamsch will be installed as pastor of Grace Lutheran Church, Grass Valley, California. We would be delighted to have you attend and participate in the installation. Please bring your robe and white (NOT RED) stole.
Following the installation, a reception buffet will be served in St. Paul Hall, Grace Lutheran Church. Please RSVP for the reception, 530-273-7043, no later than October 31, 2018. You may also email our call chairperson, Debbie Bierwagen, at bierwagenfam @ yahoo.com.
In Christ,
Tom Micone
President
Hi Ms Bierwagen,
I’m afraid that neither Vicar Pevy nor I will be able to attend the installation of your pastor, although thank you for inviting us. I am curious though as to why white is the chosen color for the traditional red for pastoral installations. We will include Grace congregation and Pastor Bamsch in our church prayers this Sunday morning.
