Last month the council and staff held a dedication lunch for Rev. David Rommereim's 30th anniversary of ordination. Joined by the local Bishop, Rev. Robert Alan Rimbo, we shared food and memorable photos in celebration of our pastor's dedicated service to the community for 30 years to date.
"I was overwhelmed and humbled by the offering of gifts and the gifts of friendship and faith. I was thrilled at the support from many of the older members of Good Shepherd, Bay Ridge, and also that persons attended from Good Shepherd Ministry, Bay Ridge United Methodist Ministry, Children Youth and Family, the Older Adult Ministry, the Wednesday Bible Study, Brooklyn Congregations United, The Russian MeetUp Community, and the extended ministry of Good Shepherd through Lutheran Health Care, Leif Ericson Day School, Founding Council, and Interfaith Assembly for Homeless and Housing. I was also very pleased that persons from the Arab American Association came to the worship. It was an overall wonderful event that the Bishop was fully engaged in and gave him an opportunity to experience the exciting mission at Good Shepherd. Generally, it represented a wide collection of strong powerful leaders for the common well-being of our borough, city and community. And it was an amazing gift with so many people caring for the hospitality of all who came to the event. Thank you all so very much" - Pastor
