The Ordination and Installation Service was held at Spring Lake Lutheran at 3:00pm on Sunday, June 8th, 2008. Well attended, people from far and wide were there. People from other churches both in our area and from the Twin Cities were there. The bishop of the St. Paul Area Synod, Bp. Peter Rogness, conducted the service and did so in his own inimitable and highly professional way. This page contains a photograph of the attending clergy and a slideshow of various snapshots taken before, during, and after the ceremony. Pastor Sean Whelan now holds the spiritual reigns of our church and for this we express our heartfelt gratitude to God, our Heavenly Father.
