I met Bunny and her two girls when they began worshipping at Tree of Life 14 years ago. It was a turning point. In time she began working for the church, a path that ultimately led to study at Wartburg Theological Seminary.

We are grateful for the work and discernment of the Gulf Coast Synod Candidacy Committee under the leadership of Bishop’s Associate Tracey Breashears Schultz and Candidacy Chair, Deacon Beth Hartfiel. We are also thankful for care of Tree of Life Lutheran Church in Conroe, Texas, Grace Lutheran of Des Moines, Iowa, and New Era Lutheran Church of Muscatine, Iowa.

Bunny has been called to serve Our Savior’s Lutheran in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
