Pastor Douglas Larson Senior Pastor
Pastor Brenda Wicklund Associate Pastor
Hi! I am Pastor Brenda Wicklund and have been called to serve as Associate Pastor recently at Grace Lutheran Church. I am what many call a “second career” pastor and went to Seminary at a later time in my life. This is my first call! How exciting for me to be a part of this church community in Mora, Minnesota as it has been quite a journey! I grew up in the church and have always been a Lutheran. I attended Sunday school and church throughout my life feeling welcomed, warmed, and accepted no matter where I went. I believed it when I sang in Sunday school, “Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam” and always wondered what it would be like to be in the pulpit and do the things that the Pastor at our church did. At that time women were not allowed in this position. As I was married and raised our family I was blessed to go back to school and able to answer the call that I received many years ago. My love for God and Jesus Christ and what He did for me on the cross drives me. I am always a loved child of God and am granted salvation and life with him. The verse that has meaning to me in life’s tough situations is an answer that Jesus gives a lawyer who asks him what the greatest commandment. Jesus replies, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the law and prophets.” Matthew 22:37-39. Grace Lutheran Church has allowed me to act on this proclamation and Good News as I have been welcomed here and joined the staff and congregation. All are welcome here as we love God and our neighbor! Jesus wants us all to be sunbeams! Enjoy the warmth here at Grace! Blessings and Peace, Pastor Brenda Wicklund Associate Pastor Grace Lutheran Church
