The ELCIC gathered on Saturday, September 27 in worship and celebration for the installation of Rev. Dr. Larry Kochendorfer as the church’s fifth National Bishop.
Taking place in the afternoon at Faith Lutheran Church, Winnipeg, MB, Lutheran, ecumenical, and interfaith pastors and bishops in attendance robed in red vestments and processed into the sanctuary to the hymn Soli Deo Gloria. Scripture readings from Isaiah 43, Psalm 46, and Ephesians 4 were shared, reminding all of God’s steadfast love, strength, and the call to unity.
“We do not fully know the future, but we have what we need, dear church,” Bishop Kochendorfer said. “Jesus is feeding us. We have bread and wine, we have the scriptures, we have each other. We will not get to where we are going without going together and with others. Jesus comes alongside. Love is at our side."
