Thank you to the Call Committee – Donna Cushing, Mike Heidemann, Mike McClure, Jessica Scholl, Nancy Papatola Smith and Diane Sonnenberg – for their faithful commitment and diligence in this call process. Pastor Sarah will join us in early September and a service of installation will be scheduled this fall. Please join us in welcoming Pastor Sarah and her family to Prince of Peace! Pastor Sarah Fike Bio: Pastor Sarah grew up in Northern Iowa and went to college at Wartburg. She then moved to the Twin Cities and worked at Central Lutheran Church in Minneapolis as the children, youth, and family director. During that time, she felt a pull to ordained ministry and started at Luther Seminary. Her first call was in Hibbing, Minnesota on the Iron Range at First Lutheran Church. Following her first call, she moved back to the Twin Cities to serve at St. Andrew Lutheran Church, in Eden Prairie, as the pastor of children, youth, and family ministry. Pastor Sarah enjoys sharing the good news of God’s creating power through love, forgiveness and grace. Pastor Sarah is married to Edward, and they live in Bloomington. They have a two year old daughter and three dogs. You could say they have their hands full! She enjoys being outside, spending time with family, hiking, traveling and living out her passion in ministry. She can’t wait to meet everyone at Prince of Peace and is so grateful that we are being called into ministry together!
