Ordinations in Plzen, Czech Republic
Ordination of the First Czech National Pastors: The two Czech seminary students, Martin Vršecký and Petr Krákora, finished their seminary studies in May. Their ordination service was on Sunday, June 7, at St. Paul’s Church in Plzen. The children from the school and the adult choir presented special music. The Ladies Club hosted a reception following the service. Several pastors from the Evangelical Lutheran Free Church in Germany, as well as several ELS pastors participated in the service. Petr and Martin have been studying for the Holy Ministry since 2001. Their seminary preparation has been thorough and, in addition, they have had many years of “practical” preparation…writing sermons, conducting worship, making sick calls, teaching Religion and Catechism classes in Martin Luther School, etc. Keep these two men in your prayers as they begin their service as shepherds of God’s people in the Czech Republic!
