Last Sunday we said goodbye to the wonderful Joan Carlson, as she embarks on a new chapter in California. Joan shared that she and Stan had been members of Sinai Lutheran in Fremont. When they asked the pastor there what Lincoln church he would recommend, he said the only church he would advise visiting first would be First Lutheran. They were sold the first Sunday they visited! A seat in the Sanctuary will now sit empty, in a familiar pew she and Stan graced for close to 50 years. This seat remains hers, ready for her return visits (we hope they’re frequent!). Best of luck in your new adventure, Joan!
