Dr. Charles Mueller has a helpful article in this months issue of Just Watching, a newsletter published by Wheat Ridge Ministries. It’s worth your time as Charlie reflects on a lifetime of ministry, challenges and fine insights relating to the Lutheran church. Here is an excerpt from the article,

Developing better ministry choices reminds me of what shopping in my Grandpa Mueller’s turn-of-the-20th-century Oklahoma general store was like. What folks needed or wanted might have been in there somewhere, but finding it called for digging through dozens of bins, baskets and barrels – with a sharp eye. If they couldn’t find exactly what they were after, those pioneer farmers would then try to figure out how they might adapt what they did find. Then, as now, “Necessity is the mother of invention.” Robust parishes, pastors and leaders are creative adapters. They are skilled at making do with what they have or making what they have do.

Dr. Mueller has been involved in Older Adult Ministry for many years. We hope you will enjoy him as much as we do.
