2024 Spring Ministerium

Rostered ministers of the synod are invited to gather for a meaningful worship service with the renewal of ordination vows. Bishop Patricia Lull will preach. Following refreshments, we will hear from Southeastern Minnesota Synod Bishop Regina Hassanally, who serves on the Commission for a Renewed Lutheran Church. She will address the work of the CRLC as well as her theological insights about renewal in all of our congregations.

Bishop Hassanally delights in conversations with pastors and deacons, walking alongside congregational leaders, Sunday morning coffee hours, and imagining future possibilities. She believes in the power of God to transform lives and her ministry is focused on gospel proclamation. Prior to being called as bishop, Regina served a vibrant congregation in rural southeastern Minnesota. While serving as a parish pastor, she loved preaching, teaching confirmation, and, along with her congregation, exploring Scripture as they discerned together the ways the Spirit was at work for the sake of God’s glory in the world. She has a B.A. in Biology Health Professions from Northwestern College in Orange City, Iowa, and a Master of Divinity from Palmer Theological Seminary in Wayne, Penn.
