Pastor Michael Rinehart

Three pastors walked into a bar...

While in Minot, I enjoyed time with Pastor 𝐄𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐍𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐡𝐥, Pastor 𝐀𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚 𝐃𝐞𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐭 𝐍𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐡𝐥 (Retired bishop - we have known each other for 30+ years), Emily's husband Joey, and boys jack and Henry. Emily leads Christ Lutheran Church in Minot. Andrea was the second female bishop in the ELCA, elected 1995).

Christ Lutheran Church, Minot, North Dakota is served by Pastor Emily Nesdahl. This is one of the few congregations I have ever visited with full handicap (wheelchair) access to the chancel (see left side). Worship on Saturday evening, Sunday morning, and Wednesday evening.
