One week ago today, on August 19th, while attending a district
board meeting in Traverse City, Pastor Reed had the pleasure of a chance meeting
for the first time with Dan Dockery whom many will remember. Dan served Grace, Auburn, as a teacher and
principal from 1971—1982. Dan has long
served in educational and ministry support roles, but has recently enrolled in
the Specific Ministry Pastor program at the seminary, a 4-year distance
education program that prepares men for pastoral ministry in The Lutheran
Church-Missouri Synod.
Dan is working with Pastor Robert Zagore locally and undertaking
both distance and on-site coursework which, when completed, makes candidates
eligible for ordination, thereafter to serve as pastors in “specific ministry”
contexts. Here is a future way in which
the seminary serves as an arm of the church in preparing servants for ministry
vocations.
Dan has sent is warmest greetings to all the Christian friends
at Grace.
