Installation at St. Luke’s, Seattle
On September 29th, 2002, the Rev. M. L. Natterer, Vice-President
of the Concordia Lutheran Conference, installed the Rev. Edward
J. Worley as pastor of St. Luke’s Lutheran Church, Seattle,
Washington. Pastor Natterer preached on “God’s Solemn
Charge to the Pastor: Preach the Word,” II Timothy 4:1-5.
In expounding the text, he applied this theme to preaching from
the pulpit and to particular applications of the Word in private.
We rejoice that God graciously provided a pastor for the flock
in Seattle and pray that He bless the congregation in the faithful
stewardship of the Word through their God-appointed overseer (Acts
20:28). To that end, Pastor Worley requests the prayers of the
entire Conference, that God may grant him grace sufficient for
his pastoral labors, as only He can do (II Corinthians 3:4-6).
