VICAR NEWS

We are excited to announce that we've been assigned a new vicar for the 2025-2026 school year!  Karl Camp, from Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, will be joining us this summer as the 22nd vicar to serve at St. Lorenz.  We look forward to welcoming him and supporting him as he continues his journey toward becoming a pastor.  

Our previous vicar, Joshua Teggatz, has been called as associate pastor to Elm Grove Lutheran Church in Elm Grove, WI.  Joshua and his wife, Rachael, are very excited to serve there and are grateful to their St. Lorenz family for their love, prayers, and encouragement throughout this process of pastoral formation.  Lily is now a busy 2 year old and they are looking forward to welcoming their second child any day now!  Please Keep the Teggatz family in your prayers.

An update from our current vicar, Joshua Steele: 250 children are already registered for this summer's Vacation Bible School!  He is still in need of volunteers; find details in Church Center if you'd like to be part of the fun!
