Churchbridge installs new pastor

CHURCHBRIDGE, Sask. – Rev. Airton Glitz was installed as pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Churchbridge on March 19, 2023, a beautiful, warm Sunday. 

Twelve pastors participated in the installation service. Rev. Lucas Albrecht from Mount Olive Lutheran (Regina) and a fellow Brazilian preached for the event. A song was sung by the Sunday School and senior choir called “A Long Time Ago,” for which two members had written a couple of verses. The communion service was followed with a potluck supper and fellowship.

The church praises and thanks our Lord and Saviour for keeping His promise of sending Rev. Glitz to Trinity, which had been vacant for four of the last five years.

Rev. Glitz, his wife Andreia, and their sons Anthony and Arthur arrived in Churchbridge on March 11 from Leme, Brazil. They also have a daughter, Andressa, who has stayed in Leme.

The church praises and thanks our Lord and Saviour for keeping His promise of sending Rev. Glitz to Trinity, which had been vacant for four of the last five years.
