Celebration Choir

Do you enjoy singing? Is your time schedule such that you cannot commit to weekly rehearsals with the Chancel Choir? The Celebration Choir may be just for you!

Ordination of Pat Harris

Pat and John Harris were active members of the Spruce Run Lutheran Church for many years. After Pat retired a few years ago, she studied Theology at the Lutheran School of Theology in Philadelphia where she has completed her Masters of Divinity and has been called by a church in New Hampshire. She feels as if she began her journey at Spruce Run Lutheran Church. She was a member of Spruce Run Lutheran Church when she started seminary and she preached her first sermon here.

Our prayers are with Pat as she continues her pastoral ministry.
