cal Seminary in Dubuque from 2001-2006 where he

About serving at New Life Lutheran Church, Pastor
Liedtke says, "I really do appreciate the strong lay lead-
ership of this congregation. They have functioned very
well during a long interim process. I also am very ex-
cited about the potential for growth both as members in
our discipleship and faith walk, and also into the com-
munity. We can do that in a variety of ways, but prima-
rily by loving others as God first loves us. This congre-
gation loves kids and young families. For that I am very
thankful as it is, and will be, a good fit between this
congregation and my family."
