Good afternoon. This is Pastor Heitshusen of St. Mark Lutheran with an important announcement.

Last Saturday, July 12, the Lord called to Himself Neal Ladwig; five weeks after He called Neal’s wife, Lois, Home.

Neal was a longtime St. Mark member, and a fun, compassionate man, who was involved in many areas at St. Mark, serving the Lord and His people joyfully.

Visitation with the family is tomorrow, Tuesday, July 15, from 6:00-8:00pm at Settegast-Kopf funeral home in Sugar Creek. A memorial service celebrating Neal’s life in and witness of Jesus Christ will be at St. Mark on Wednesday, July 16, at 2:00pm with a reception immediately following.

Please keep the Ladwig family in your prayers during this difficult time.
