CLC News
Pastor Tom Schuetze of Coloma, Michigan has made great strides in recover this last week. It would appear that he will be released from the hospital shortly, though some convalescence at home will be required ... Pastor Paul Larsen of Nortport, Florida has been experiencing severe back pain recently, and in fact has not been able to preach or even attend services for several weeks. We keep these called servants in our prayers - as well as our own called servants here at Faith. More information on Pastor Schuetze may be found at http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/tomschuetze .... This week the various boards for the CLC will be meeting in Eau Claire. The decline in enrollment and subsequent budget shortfall at Immanuel is of great concern. With Synodical offerings not increasing greatly, difficult choices are laid the Board of Regents, Board of Missions, and Board of Trustees. May the Holy Spirit grant them heavenly wisdom!
AN INVITATION FROM THE BOARD OF REGENTS FOR ILC
(Concerning Professor Sydow’s retirement)
Professor Michael Sydow has announced his retirement from the Faculty of Immanuel Lutheran College, Eau Claire, Wisconsin, effective at the end of the current school year. Professor Sydow served in the pastoral ministry from his ordination in 1965 until the summer of 1996 when he was installed as a member of the ILC Faculty. History, English, Hebrew, psychology, education, and public speaking are among the courses taught by Professor Sydow during the past 12 years at Immanuel. He has also served as Dean of Students and Academic Dean. Professor Sydow’s dedicated service to our church and our school will be acknowledged in part during the Class Day-Graduation festivities on the ILC campus May 23-24, 2008.
As is our custom, we would like to present a monetary gift to Professor Sydow as a token of our appreciation. CLC members are invited to contribute to a “retirement purse”which will be presented to him in May. Please make your checks payable to Immanuel Lutheran College, and stipulate: “M. Sydow retirement purse.” Send your gifts to:
