and friends for the celebration of this honor.
for the church planter, Pastor Ralph, who started
the mission congregation of
Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in
Springfield, Virginia 60 years ago.
Festive balloons greeted members and guests
from nearby and distant locations
that attended the anniversary celebration.
Rev. John Denninger came to Prince of Peace
to serve as Associate pastor in 1988.
In 1996 Pastor John and Pastor Ralph switched roles.
In the first 50 years of Prince of Peace
these were the two Senior pastors.
Certainly a wonderful ministry legacy.
Pastor Ralph addresses the congregation in the service
to remind is that the Cross is the center of our lives.
The EASIER path becomes the story of EASTER
when the "cross replaces the I" in our lives.
Jo Stewart was the first Administrative Assistant at
Prince of Peace and came back for this
special anniversary celebration.
Pastor Michael Hayes -
Senior Pastor at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church
in Springfield, Virginia
was a wonderful host for the 60th Anniversary celebration
for Pastor Ralph and the entire church community.
We give thanks for his leadership in
this congregation at this time.
to our Heavenly Father for His faithfulness.
