Josiah's Pre-School Christmas Program

Ordination & Installation

Yesterday was a humbling day. Eric was ordained as a pastor of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. Immediately following his ordination, he was then installed as pastor of Redeemer Lutheran Church in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. We felt very blessed to have so many family members join us for this momentous occasion. You can check out some photos from the service here or in the side bar!

We Made It!

We have made it to Manitowoc, Wisconsin! Eric will be ordained and installed on Sunday, June 14 at the 9 AM service. Check out the pictures of Redeemer Lutheran Church in the side bar! Josiah got a kick out of trying on a "cheese head" in one of the local stores! I think he will fit right in! Our home is coming along nicely. We feel very spoiled to have Lake Michigan views from our living room and bedroom!!! We are enjoying our close proximity to the lake shore, and the wonderful pleasant weather. Pictures will be coming soon!

New Digs...

Well, we are getting ready to move.... AGAIN!!! We will have been married 8 years this August and in those 8 years we will have moved 8 times! However this move has us beginning a new chapter in our lives, and we are anxiously awaiting the opportunity to put down some "roots". 

If you would like our new address and phone number information, send us an email and we would be happy to share it with you.  ejkolonich@gmail.com

We decided not to buy a house right away in Manitowoc. We want to get to know the area before we make that kind of decision. We feel blessed though, to have found an awesome rental/duplex with a view of Lake Michigan thanks to some new friends! It will be smaller than what we are used to currently, but it will be adequate for our needs at this time.

We have 3 more days until the moving truck arrives... so perhaps I should stop blogging and start packing! 

A Chapter Closes...

Seminary is complete! On Friday, May 22 Eric graduated from Concordia Seminary. In the morning, they held the theological diploma service. At this service, Eric received certification from the seminary to serve Redeemer Lutheran Church in Manitowoc, Wisconsin as an Associate Pastor. Later in the evening, commencement services were held. At this service, Eric received his Masters of Divinity degree. It has been a long road to finally get to this point in our lives.

Pictures have been posted! See them here!

We are now gearing up to close this chapter in our lives. Tuesday, June 2 is moving day! We will be heading up to Manitowoc, Wisconsin to begin the next chapter of our lives. 

Eric will be ordained and installed at Redeemer Lutheran Church on Sunday, June 14 at the 9:00 AM worship service. 

We would like to thank all family and friends who have prayed for us and supported us in many and various ways throughout the course of our time here at seminary. You have all been a tremendous blessing to our lives! May God Bless You All!!!
