The Fall 2008 meeting of the Lake Superior Chapter held at
First
Covenant
Church
in
Duluth
included a silent auction and guest speaker, Shirley Wuchter. Shirley shared her story of how through grief she came to be on a special
path to publishing. Shirley’s husband, Michael Wuchter,
served as pastor at
First
Lutheran
Church
in
Duluth
and died suddenly while they were on a mission trip in
Namibia
. During her process of grieving,
she was drawn to Michael’s writings. Over
the course of several years, with support of friends and family, Shirley has
chosen wonderfully insightful sermons by Michael and compiled them in the
seasonal book volumes described below. All
of these timeless sermons written by Michael
Wuchter are truly worthy additions for your church library shelves. These volumes would also make for a spiritually engaging seasonal book
group study.
