Puget Sound Lutheran Volunteer Corps

Yesterday, Nov. 1 (All Saints Day) we (my colleagues and I from the other eight seminaries) had the opportunity to enjoy a meal and fellowship with the Lutheran Volunteer Corps young adults who are living and doing ministry in the Seattle and Tacoma areas of Washington. Meeting with these young people is always such a joy. They have committed themselves, for one year, to do volunteer work with a non-profit organization, to live simply and communally, and whether they know it or not, to be a witness to Jesus Christ to those with whom they work and serve. We were also blessed to have the presence of their coordinator with us as well, Patricia Rengel (back row, left side of picture), who is doing a fantastic job and is such a delightful person. I pray God’s continued blessings on the work of these individuals and all those serving as volunteers across the globe.
