Church workers often have unique stories
of the way in which the Holy Spirit
whisks them this way and that
to do His Kingdom work.
Josh and Sammy have one of those stories, too.
Sammy got a promotion working
for Homeland Security
while still in Wisconsin.
She was recruited to a new position
in Washington DC.
Josh decided it would get a little lonely
in Wisconsin without Sammy
where he was serving as
Associate Pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church,
Mequon, Wisconsin.
He resigned his call and
followed Sammy to DC,
He made himself available for a call
to serve as a pastor
somewhere in the Washington DC area.
The Holy Spirit whispered into
the hearts of the people of
Pilgrim Lutheran Church and...
they called him as their pastor.

But there's more to the story.
We already knew something about Joshua Rusert
because we met him a few years back.
Joshua served his vicarage (internship year)
at Living Savior Lutheran Church,
Fairfax Station, VA.
His pastoral supervisor, Pastor Andy Lissy,
preached at the Installation Service today.
Joshua was Living Savior's first vicar seven years ago.
Vicar Nils Niemeier has just been placed as their new vicar.
excited to begin a new era with their new Pastor.
We welcome Pastor Joshua and Sammy Rusert.
