Know someone who 'loves to tell the story'?

Congregations, do you have a good storyteller in your midst?
How about one who has a story or two about real people doing ministry in Christ’s name?
If so, the Rev. Sarah Roemer would love to hear from you. Pastor Roemer serves at Spirit of Life Lutheran Church of Olalla and has just been named the mission interpretation coordinator for the Southwestern Washington Synod.
In her synod role, Roemer, with the help of synod Communicator Rachel Pritchett, will be sharing your stories with others for celebration, inspiration and encouragement as we all grow in our relationship with Jesus Christ and in our giving of time, talents and resources.
“We are soliciting your personal stories to inspire and see the difference God is making in our churches and the world,” Roemer said.
Her long-term goal is to identify a person in each congregation to be a “mission interpreter” to help tell the stories. Training and resources are available from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
Keith Mundy, ELCA director for area ministry stewardship staff, said, “Since becoming a mission interpreter more than 10 years ago, I have heard many wonderful stories of how God is touching the lives of people through our giving. These stories are a joy to share and an inspiration for nurturing generosity.”
So storytellers, contact Pastor Roemer at pastorsollm@msn.com. She’s waiting to listen.
