Congratulations to Pastor Ringhofer! An excellent choice. I visited the church when he was preaching and was very impressed with his passion and knowledge. I will be praying for him and his family as he serves in this new position. May God grant him the wisdom, spiritual strength and protection that only God our Father can provide.
