Trails and Tales in Munising

 

Munising, Michigan on the shores of Lake Superior proved to be a great spot to enjoy a hike in the woods.

Pastor John and Dave talking theology on the trail. Actually, they might be talking about John's fishing and hiking adventures; he has had many.

Part of the ministry of Good Shepherd in Munising is a mission church called Victory Lutheran located in Sawyerville and supported by area churches. The Air Force base formerly housing Air Force personnel and their families along with all the planes and other exciting big boy toys, is now low-income housing. Each Sunday following worship a free meal is served to the community provided by one of the area churches.  The membership of Victory includes many people who are struggling with addiction, unemployment, family difficulties and the like.  Pastor John loves his people at Victory and with the help of many hands is able to provide much-needed help on a practical level always with an eye on reaching each one with the Gospel and into the comfort of our living Savior.  It is hard for the people of Victory to deny the love of the Lord at work when someone is preparing a meal for them, making up food baskets to take home, and cleaning up after serving them.

Please pray for Victory Lutheran and the work being done by Pastor John as the Lord brings it to mind.

Please note the can of Apple filling just for scale!!!

On a cheesy note this block of Colby was donated to Victory by a mission group from, you guessed it - Colby, Wisconsin. :)  Gotta love the Cheeseheads.
