Lutheran Lamb Adult Recognition
Our Savior Lutheran Church
Newton, IA

Scout Sunday is big at Our Savior Lutheran Church. And it became even bigger with the presentation of the Lamb Award to two outstanding candidates, Matthew and Kristin Rogahn. The recognition ceremony was a family affair. Matthew’s father, Rev. Gregory C. Rogahn, delivered the sermon and son Zachary presented the Children’s sermon. Special guests included the Mayor and a State of Iowa Representative with a presentation from the Governor.

Part of what makes Matthew and Kristin so special is the husband and wife team engaged in Christian ministry through Scouting AND serving as high school Sunday school teachers and youth group sponsors.  In his letter of nomination, Pastor John Moore said, “I am recommending [Matthew and Kristin] together because they operate most effectively, efficiently, and as a healthy team, and as a family on mission as they serve the Lord and His people through our local congregation and scouting.”

Congratulations Matthew and Kristin! And thank you for your example of commitment and dedication. You inspire us all.

Note: The Lamb Award requires a minimum of ten years of service. The Lutheran Servant of Youth Award requires only five years of service which Matthew and Kristin received in 2009.
