Pastor – Bishop Gerald Mansholt

Bishop Mansholt has just returned from two major trips. One was the ELCA Youth Gathering in Houston, June 27-July 1, which was attended by 30,000 plus youth. There were 600 youth from this synod. “This Changes Everything” was the theme of the gathering.

For the second trip Bishop Mansholt and his wife Anita accompanied 45 people on a companion synod visit to the Western Diocese of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of South Africa, July 14-17. They are ready for a couple of weeks in Door County!

Since last summer Anita and Bishop Mansholt have another grandchild, Andrew Gerald, born last August. First boy in 22 years!
