Nativity Lutheran Church celebrated Pastors Renee and Jerry LiaBraatens’ 25th anniversary of ordination with a cake featuring Martin Luther's seal following the worship service on Sunday, November 6. Unfortunately Renee was out of town and missed the festivities. Reverend Jerry LiaBraaten received a Bachelor of Music Degree from Concordia College and Master of Divinity Degree from Wartburg Seminary. He served congregations in Virginia for 18 years before coming to Nativity in April 2003. nativitylutheran.net
