Meet Pastor Steve Stutz:Our interim Pastor, Rev. Steve Stutz,
Pastor Stutz earned his doctorate in spiritual direction and formation at the Houston Graduate School of Theology (HGST) and received his initial training in spiritual direction through the Formation in Direction program (F-IN-D) of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas in 2006. He is now an adjunct professor at HGST, teaching spiritual direction and supervising practicum experiences for Master of Arts and Master of Divinity students. Most recently, he finished working with the formation team at St. Peter Upon the Water, a three year program which forms spiritual directors for the Archdiocese of San Antonio, Texas.
Recently, the Center for Disease Control lifted mask recommendations for fully vaccinated individuals participating in indoor events. Based on the current science and best practices, our Church Council has updated the ELCR policy for worship and other events on the ELCR campus. Beginning this coming Sunday, May 31, if you are fully vaccinated as defined by the CDC (i.e. two weeks after receiving a second jab of a two-dose vaccine or two weeks after the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine) you may choose to come mask-less for worship. On the other hand, if for any reason you desire to continue to wear a mask during worship, you are welcome to do so. If you are not vaccinated or only partially vaccinated, we encourage you to continue to wear your mask during worship. However, our ushers and staff are not going to be policing you. No one will be asking at the door if you are vaccinated. You will be on the honor system. Please take this public health issue seriously and do the right thing out of love and concern for those around you. For the time being every other pew will still be roped off for social distancing. Finally, we encourage everyone who does not have underlying health issues as identified in consultation with their doctor that may prevent them from doing so, to get vaccinated as soon as possible.
