LifeBridge People Receive Vicarage Assignment & Call

Wednesday, April 26, 2023, was a special day for LifeBridge!

It was Call Day at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis.


At 3:00 PM, Seminarian Daniel Heitshusen received his vicarage (think year-long internship) assignment.

He and Rachel will be headed about 2 hours south of St. Louis to Cape Girardeau, MO. where they will serve the good people of Hanover Lutheran Church under the supervision of The Rev. Rod Benkendorf. (Pastor Benkendorf and Pastor Scott were classmates in college at Concordia-NE.)

Daniel will have some preaching, visitation, and teaching duties (including a 6:00 AM Bible class on Fridays!).

They are very excited and looking forward to beginning their time at Hanover sometime in July. (Specific date TBD.)

Seminarian Daniel Heitshusen (LifeBridge member), receives his vicarage assignment to Hanover Lutheran in Cape Girardeau, MO.

In addition, you may recall that on February 5, LifeBridge extended a Call to soon-to-be Deaconess Becky Jungklaus to serve as a “Missionary at Large” in the deaf community. That reality took another step forward with her receipt of that Call through the LCMS Council of Presidents (who serve as the Board of Assignments)!

Becky will finish some remaining courses this summer and we will Install her in the Fall.

Deaconess Becky Jungklaus (LifeBridge member), receives her first Call to LifeBridge as a missionary at large.

We praise and thank the Lord for His goodness of sending workers into the Harvest – and that LifeBridge is able to be a part of this vital and exciting effort!

Please continue to keep Daniel, Rachel, Becky, and the people of Hanover Lutheran as well as our own community in prayer!

Praise the Lord!!

    Deaf Interpreter in Worship

    On Sunday, May 5, 2019, a professional church signing pastor will be with us at LifeBridge to sign our worship service for those who are deaf.

    The Rev. Dr. John Reinke from World Lutheran Deaf Outreach [lutherandeafoutreach.org] has visited LifeBridge before and will be bringing a couple of folks with him (if they are available that day).

    If you know someone who is deaf, this is a perfect service to invite them to LifeBridge and learn about Jesus!


    UPDATE: What a great time we had!
