Shirley Grangstad, an experienced lay leader in the ELCA visited the two congregations worshipping together Feb. 10 to enthusiastically say it is a model other churches will look at. With limited resources there is no reason Lutheran, Presbyterian and other churches should not consider working together for the "same Lord."

A former vice president of the Southeast Minnesota ELCA synod, she said this is an example of conserving resources while remaining focused on the mission of the church and on Transriguration Sunday, to "be silent and listen, listen to God."
