In the news

Steve Witte, pastor at Beautiful Savior, Green Bay, Wis., was mentioned in the Mar. 17 edition of Time magazine. Sports columnist Sean Gregory wrote, “I pulled into the parking lot of Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church, to glean some insight into whether football really is religion in Green Bay, and Favre the Heavenly Father. The avuncular pastor, Steve Witte, shared some concerns that fans had called a reverse on their priorities. There were the shuffled services and the canceled choir practices to accommodate Packer kickoff times. But Pastor Witte knows whence he serves. On his sill stood two sacred bobbleheads: one of Martin Luther, the other of Brett Favre.”

Steve Monroe, member at Eastside, Madison, Wis., was featured in the Jan. 24 issue of the Sun Prairie Star. Monroe was selected to go to Glendale, Ariz., to assist the Arizona Super Bowl XLII Host Committee as an intern. The experience focused on sportsmanship, marketing, media and public relations, security and operations, and community outreach.

Edna Soles, member at Grace, Bisbee, Ariz., was featured in the Feb. 4 issue of the Bisbee Daily Review. Soles retired Feb. 3 after playing the organ at Grace off and on for the past 70 years.
