# Der Lutheraner_St. Louis Missouri_1850 07 23_S192 # AI translation — CHI Digital Archive (demonstration) 192 (Communicated.) Church News. (Delayed.) At Adrian, Lenawee Co., Mich., there arose in the year 1847 a little flock of German Lutherans; some of them had formerly been members of my Monroe congregation. They requested me to serve them pastorally from Monroe. In accordance with their wish I visited them at first every four weeks, later, as the congregation grew, every three weeks. About a year later some Lutheran families settled in Hillsdale, Hillsdale Co., Mich.; these also requested me to provide them now and then with Word and Sacrament, which also was done. In 1848 the congregation at Adrian, as a congregation of the unaltered Augsburg Confession, joined the Synod of Missouri, Ohio, etc. In the year 1849 it built itself a pretty frame church, which at the beginning of July was dedicated by me to the service of the Triune God. Now, however, the need of having a pastor of their own in their midst became ever more pressing; therefore I earnestly admonished them to call one. And so it came at last, with God's help, so far that the congregation, in connection with the little flock at Hillsdale, upon the proposal of Dr. Sihler, called Pastor Trautmann of Liverpool, Medina Co., Ohio, who also accepted the call, and on the holy feast of Pentecost, with great joy and sympathy of the congregation, was inducted into his office by me. On the day of the induction there came also several Lutherans from Bliesfield, ten miles distant from Adrian, who in the name of several fellow believers living there asked the new pastor to provide them also with the preaching of the Word of God, which also will be done. May the gracious Savior let His divine blessing rest upon this little flock, which has become so dear to me, as also upon its pastor. Amen. Monroe, the 5th of June 1850. W. Hattstädt, Evang. Luth. preacher at Monroe, Mich. (Communicated.) Church News from Northern Illinois. (Delayed.) Since the Evang. Lutheran congregation at Wickliffe, Cook County, Illinois, had regularly called as its pastor the Rev. Nic. Volkert, who felt himself constrained in conscience to lay down his office at the congregation at Calumet, Wisconsin, which indeed calls itself Lutheran but resists the Word of God: he was on the 9th of April of this year installed in his office by Pastor Hoffmann. Pastor Selle preached on this occasion on Jeremiah 3, 15.: "I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding." As the brethren of that region were just assembled at a special conference at Pastor Hoffmann's, there were present at this solemnity also the Pastors Stubnatzy, Küchle, Weyel and Brauer. Pastor Volkert is now the seventh member of our Synod who serves the Church in that region within a circuit of 35 miles, and as two other congregations there are daily expecting their already called pastors, the hope expressed in No. 10 of the 5th volume of the "Lutheraner" would be fulfilled, through God's superabundant grace, beyond asking and understanding. May the LORD build His holy kingdom further there and everywhere, and let His precious Word resound in all places, to the salvation of many dearly bought souls! On Sunday Rogate the newly built Ev. Lutheran Trinity Church of the unaltered Augsb. Confession in New York was solemnly dedicated. To all brethren near and far who have lent us a helping hand in this building, we say once more our heartiest thanks. Th. Brohm. Conference Notice.
