A little about Mrs. Preus from Steadfast Lutherans:
Associate Editor’s Note: With this post we introduce Dort Preus
as the regular writer for “Steadfast Moms”. She will be contributing
much from her years of experience in raising children in the fear of the
Lord. This post is to be paired up with her husband Pastor Rolf Preus’
posts under “Steadfast Dads”.
We
are glad to have their valuable experience to provide good resources to
our readers. A little more about Rev. & Mrs. Preus:
Rolf and Dorothy (Dort) Preus met at Concordia Lutheran Junior
College nearly forty years ago, fell in love, got married, and were
blessed by God with twelve children and twenty two grandchildren (so
far). Pastor Preus was ordained in 1979 and has been a Lutheran pastor
in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and North Dakota. He received his STM from CTS
in Ft. Wayne in 1987. Dort received her B.A. in elementary education
from Concordia, St. Paul in 1975, and learned how to teach from teaching
her children at home. The Preuses presently live in Mayville, North
Dakota. Pastor Preus serves First American Lutheran Church in Mayville,
First Evanger Lutheran Church in Fertile, Minnesota and Grace Lutheran
Church in Crookston, Minnesota.
Her husband, Rev. Rolf Preus is posting there as well, his post can be found here.
Thanks for reposting this here, Aubri! I read it last week, and it encouraged me enough to attempt two services today (funeral in the a.m, Lenten service tonight). Alas, tonight was chaos... but I'm learning to be humbled and thankful that, despite the shoes and socks off, the babbling, giggling toddlers, the shrieking-herself-to-sleep infant, crumbs from our Master's table will still reach little ears and mine and take root in our hearts.
ReplyDeleteWe can definitely give thanks for that Emommy! God is faithful. And you are a hero. I'll give you a "Woot! Woot!"
