Non-communion services: Given the
shortage of ordained supply in the territory, it is best if
non-communion
services be supplied by one of the many Bishop's Lay Worship
Assistants. It is also unfair to deprive these trained and
licensed lay preachers of the
opportunity. A list of lay and ordained supply personnel can be
found at the WV-WMD
Supply Page.
Supply Compensation: WV-WMD Synod guidelines are posted at WV-WMD
Supply Page.
Children's Sermons: Riegel avoids children's
sermons like the plague. If a children's sermon is a regular part
of your worship service, be sure to arrange for a member of the
congregation to handle this part of the liturgy. Trust us: you wouldn't like his children's sermons anyway.
About distance: Riegel has traveled to the far corners of the synod. There will be times, however, when other scheduling concerns rule out long trips. They are indicated. Also note that a blizzard once cancelled a trip to Elkins, and an engine failure at Flatwoods resulted in a missed service in Charleston. "Acts of God," whether meteorological or mechanical can happen.
Non-worship venues: Perhaps your congregational council, WELCA, LMM, LYO, or other church group would like a
presentation about Lutheran Campus Ministry, Gettysburg Seminary, church vocations, or something else. Please contact him.
