Pastor Jacobsen received a divine call this week to Immanuel Lutheran Church and School (WELS) in Salem, Oregon. The call is to serve as Principal, teaching the upper classroom (6th–8th) in the next school year. The church also has a vacancy in its 1st and 2nd grade classroom. He will deliberate this call for at least the next two weeks, and would appreciate your prayers and counsel. Especially helpful would be your ideas about the needs of Lakewood Lutheran, the work needed to achieve our goals, or how the Jacobsens might uniquely fit into that work. You may use the contact information on the service folder to reach him.
UPDATE: Pastor Jacobsen announced that he returned the call on Sunday, January 16. He thanks all who have prayed for God’s blessings on his deliberation.
