        AND HIS WIFE ...

The Reverend Robert A. Kobler was installed as pastor at a special service on Sunday, June 23, 2002. Officiating at the installation was the Reverend James Linderman, President of the Texas District of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod.

A supper following the 4pm installation service gave the Congregation a chance  to welcome Pastor Bob and his family to Nacogdoches and to the State of Texas.
