The Parsonage

Christ Lutheran Parish consists of four ELCA congregations in Ironwood, Michigan. They have been working with each other to share the responsibilities, the effort, and the joys of doing ministry as a parish while maintaining their own unique identities. The four congregations are Salem, St. John's, St Paul, and Zion. The pastors of Chist Parish are Pastor Francis Stong and Pastor Christian Muellerleile. But the real work of the parish is done by the secretaries and parish administrator. Lynne, Minerva, and Kathy along with other members of the four congregations are the people who, with the help of the Holy Spirit, will make this new arrangement work.

In future posts I hope to share sermons, pictures, and stories of what is happenining within the parish. Perhaps we can even get members of the congregations to participate in sharing what God is up to in this particular context. Our name tells you who we are about. We are four varied and distinct communities who are one in Christ. There is a new thing happening here and this blog is an attempt to record some of that novelty and excitement. I hope you find this interesting and helpful.

In Christ,
Christian Muellerleile
