Pastor Suellen Bahleda Pastor Suellen Bahleda has been a Lutheran all her life, beginning with her baptism when she was almost three weeks old at St. John Lutheran Church in Schwer, Illinois. She’s lived in many places, including Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, California, Michigan, Iowa, and Alaska, where she has had the joy of experiencing the variety, the flavors, the possibilities of worship within the Lutheran tradition. She has a BA in Theatre and Communication Arts, a M.Ed in Adult Education, and a M.Div (Master of Divinity). Her first career was as an American Sign Language interpreter and instructor, with a specialization in performing arts. She was ordained in 2008, and served a congregation in Alaska for nine years before coming to Gethsemane. Her family includes her husband Bill, and their son Michael. Favorite music: movie soundtracks and 1960’s pop. Favorite sports team: The World Champion Chicago Cubs! Favorite punctuation: Exclamation points!
MISSION
REMINDERS
Change for Good Update
Pastor Suellen was gifted the last filled Change for Good jar to do as she wished with it.
She purchased the following Gifts:
• 3 drop latrine toilets-because they matter!
• 1 goat-first thing ever bought with a change for good jar in my ministry
• Bees-first thing I ever bought on my own
• 1 water filter/purifier-because, water
• 1 solar lantern-because, light
• 1 communion kit for an ELCA missionary-because wine and bread
• 1 rooster-as a reminder that, like Peter, I am broken, and forgiven. Thanks to all who continue to participate. Your spare change makes a difference. Loose change? Piggy bank full? Please continue to use the jar on the table by the front.
