Group attends service for Pastor Paul's mother

Greetings,

Out front is a photo of part of the group of Bethanians who attended the funeral for Dorothy Diers, mother of Pastor Paul, on Saturday at St. Mark's by the Narrows Lutheran Church in Tacoma. I'm guessing about 150 people came, including Rick Jaech, bishop of the Southwestern Washington Synod, and Chris Boerger, former ELCA secretary and former bishop of the Northwest Washington Synod. The gathering was topped off by a meal of meat-filled pasties and salad, and an ice-cream social.

Antarctica's penguins say hello to Swartlings

Good Monday morning,

Bethany members David and Barbara Swartling have returned from an extended visit to Antarctica, where they encounter more than one curious penguin. They visited the southernmost continent with former Southwestern Washington Synod Bishop Rob Hofstad and his wife, Linda, of Steilacoom. Thank you for sharing these photos, David.
