Well, if you thought we’d all had enough of 2020 guess again. Wolf Lake has reported in the newspaper that there will not be trick or treat this year due to COVID-19 which is on the rise once again. In response to this news, we cancelled our Trunk or Treat event and are now working on Operation Candy Bags. We are bagging up zip-locks full of pre-packaged candy that will go home with every child at Wolf Lake Primary on Friday October 30 so every child at least gets a treat this year. I often remind us on Sunday mornings that this too shall pass, but remember in 2 Corinthians 4: 17-18 “For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” This too shall pass.
Trunk or Treat turned Operation Candy Bags

My Foundations of Faith My journey began as a child raised in the Lutheran Church in Hammond, Indiana. While I hold a deep and lasting affection for the Lutheran tradition, I often share that while I was raised Lutheran, I was "born a Methodist" at heart. After spending my early years in Munster and a brief period in Mukwonago, Wisconsin, my family returned to North Webster in 1984. The "return" to North Webster was a homecoming in every sense. Throughout my childhood, the lake was the backdrop of my summer vacations, specifically at a rental home in Epworth Forest. These waters have always been a place of renewal for me, echoing the sentiment of Psalm 23:2-3: "He leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul." Family and Vocation In 1993, I married my husband, Bob Strombeck, and together we have been blessed with two children, Ashley and Christopher. Our family continues to grow in exciting ways; our daughter is an elementary teacher in Warsaw and will be married this spring. Our son also teaches elementary school in Goshen, where he leads the children’s ministry alongside his girlfriend, who is currently studying to become a teacher herself. Professionally, I have served as a full-time Biology and Environmental Science teacher at Concord High School since 1995. Balancing the world of science and the Word of God has been a rewarding challenge, much like the wisdom found in Psalm 111:2: "Great are the works of the Lord; they are pondered by all who delight in them." My Call to Ministry In 2011, I answered God’s call to ministry. I had the privilege of serving as the Associate Pastor at North Webster United Methodist Church until August 2019. Today, I am profoundly grateful that the Lord has called me to serve as a Local Pastor. My greatest joy is found in the Great Commission, as stated in Matthew 28:19-20, and I look forward to many years of walking alongside those God sends me, leading our community into a deeper, more vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ.
