A letter from recent grads:
May 17, 2005
Dear Drs. Carter, Holst, Lumpp, Schuler, Stohlmann, and Trapp,
The end is in sight! The end of our time at seminary that is, but just the beginning of our service to God's Church. As we look back over the past several years, one theme is common in our conversations. We have each recognized that the time we spent at CSP has had a lasting and gospel-centered impact on our understandings of what it means to be baptized children of God called into his service. The time that we spent in your classrooms, offices and homes formed us in ways too marvelous to describe. We thank you for your investment in us, and invite you to celebrate with us as we are ordained and installed.
The dates and places of our ordinations are listed below... We understand that you will probably not be able attend all of these services, nevertheless we extend to each an invitation to celebrate and participate in the rites of ordination and installation.
In Christ,
Jeff Cloeter
