Christ is risen! Alleluia!
Because Christ lives, we know that we shall live also.
It is in this Easter hope that we share the news of the death of Pastor F. Leonard Peterson. Pastor Len was the senior pastor of All Saints Lutheran Church from 1995 through his retirement in 2006. He died on Easter morning.
Funeral arrangements are as follows:
- Visitation will be Wednesday (tomorrow) from 3-9 at Thompson & Keunster Funeral Home which is at 5570 W 95th Street in Oak Lawn.
- The funeral service will be Thursday at 10:30 at Bethlehem Lutheran Church which is at 9401 S Oakley in Chicago. There will be visitation also beginning at 9:30 at Bethlehem on Thursday morning.
Visit Bethlehem's website for directions including this note: Note: Due to construction on 94th street, currrently the best way to reach Bethlehem is to take 91st street east off of Western; turn right (south) on Oakley and proceed to 9401 S. Oakley.
Because of this funeral, the Women's Bible Study that normally meets on Thursday mornings will be cancelled this week.
If anyone would like to attend and feels uncomfortable driving, please call the church office or pastors and we will make every attempt to coordinate ride-sharing. Meanwhile, we pray in thanksgiving for the life and witness of Pastor Peterson.
