Capital Campaign Kickoff, 2001

These were snapped at our Capital Campaign Kickoff at Royal Oak Country Club. The campaign raised enough money for us to seek a commercial loan to finance construction of our current church building.

Pictured Above: The jabbering pastor is speechifying. To my far right, Carl Beck of Church First, who coordinated our campaign. To my right, Pastor Tim Iseringhausen, formerly assistant to the Southern Ohio Synod bishop. (Tim graduated three years after me at Trinity Lutheran Seminary and is currently pastor at his home church, Trinity Lutheran Church in Bexley, Ohio.) To my left, is Ann as well as former West Clermont Local School District Superintendent, Mike Ward, and his wife.
