Christ, the Wisdom of God

Today we welcome Misty Lampshire to lead our worship. Misty returned to California after completing a two-point parish pastoral intership in Omaha, Nebraska. Misty has 15 years teaching experience in public education and recently earned a Masters in Divinity at Pacific Lutheran Theology Seminary in Berkeley, CA. She has been approved for ordained ministry and is awaiting her first call in the Sierra Pacific Synod. Misty and her wife Jackie live in the Sacramento area.
