Hello friends! I am Pastor Masters


Pastor's Message
It is my honor to serve as the interim/transition pastor at Salem and Siloa Lutheran congregations, beginning January 2. I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible on Sunday, January 5. I have just returned to Minnesota after a two-year interim call in Ohio, the state in which I was raised. Having lived in Minnesota since 1991 (minus the two years in Ohio), I consider it as much my home as Ohio, and I am delighted to be back. I served my first call in 1995, and all but one of my 14 calls since then have been as an interim pastor. Interim ministry is my calling and my passion (not, as I am oftern asked, something I do while I wait for a "real call". Yes, people actually ask me that!). I love to walk alongside congregations in transition as they discern where God is calling them in mission and what sort of pastor they want and need to lead them in that missional calling. I am bold to say that I bring much experience and knowledge to the table in such discernment. And here is something I am SO excited about; I have never served a multi-point call, nor a rural call. So YOU will bring that experience and knowledge to the table, and I am eager to learn from you, as well! Thank you for the privilege of partnering with you in ministry in the months ahead. See you on January 5! Advent and Christmas blessings be upon you and your loved ones, Pastor Susan Masters 612-327-7454 pastorsusan57@gmail.com
