On November 30, 2014 I was ordained as a minister of word and sacrament at St. Peter Lutheran Church in Santa Ana, California surrounded by the company of saints. In 2021 November 30 fell on a Tuesday. I took the occasion to reflect on ministry by participating in a ride along with Rev. Dr. Julius West. Pastor Julius serves Sunergeo Christian Fellowship, and is a Chaplain for the Upland Police Department. I was honored to spend the morning with Dr. West interacting with the good people of Upland and thinking about how people of faith are called to the “public square.” Since serving at Grace Lutheran in Upland I have been so honored to learn more about law enforcement and look forward to learning more and working together for God’s justice and peace.
Rev Julia’s,
Greetings to you in Jesus name.
I want to thank you so much for the good work and the commitment you have in your heart when you are serving others.
I am requesting you to come and share with us about the love of God.
We need to learn from you what God has planted in your heart.
Greet your family and the church where you minister.
Be blessed,
Thank you,
Pastor Stephen begi
