On staff at First Lutheran Church since 1997, the Rev. Don Jukam will retire at the end of the year. All are invited to Pastor Jukam's final sermon at 10 a.m. at the historic hillside church at 10 a.m. Christmas Day. Wife Elaine has been active in many capacities throughout his tenure at First.
Don Jukam previously served as a Navy chaplain before coming to First.
The church now is lead by the Revs. Kent and Alison Shane and Youth and Family Coordinator Paul Davis. On Dec. 3, the congregation hosted a banquet in honor of the Jukam's contributions in First's Christian Center. About $20,000 in donations marking the retirement went to ELCA Good Gifts and other efforts of the congregation.
The church, also currently celebrating its 125th anniversary, is at 18920 Fourth Ave. NE, Poulsbo.
