Ordination celebrations in 2022

We introduce a new feature of our news system this year. Each week we’ll celebrate upcoming ordination celebrations, on a Friday-to-Friday basis. We hope you will enjoy getting to know the ordained leaders of the Grand Canyon Synod. And while our records should be up to date, please let us know if we’ve missed you or anyone else. We also want to feature photos, so please update us with your most recent portrait or selfie.

Up first is Rev. Stephen Springer, with Dove of Peace Lutheran in Tucson, who celebrates 25 years on January 12, 2022. Congratulations! And we appreciate all he does in helping us with our synod assemblies!
