After church services on Oct. 9, Pastor John Stennes-Spidahl of Cashton will retire from active ministry.
On that day, the Cashton Four-Point Parish will hold an open house to celebrate his 21 years of ministry to the Brush Creek, Fish Creek Ridge, North Coon Prairie and Portland churches.
The Stennes-Spidahl family arrived in Cashton in August 1995, and throughout the years, he and his family have been actively involved in school and community organizations and projects.
The open house on Oct. 9 will be at North Coon Prairie Lutheran Church from 2–5 p.m. A short program and tribute will begin at 3 p.m. Refreshments will be served.
Chuck Hatfield, president of Brush Creek Church, said, “The Four-Point Parish hopes that all who know and love the Stennes-Spidahls will join us in celebration and thanks for Pastor John’s wonderful years of ministry in our community. All are welcome.”
