Lauron Fischer: Our New Campus Elder!

Austin Agape is thrilled that Lauron Fischer was ordained as an elder on Sunday! She will serve on the Session when she returns from her Fall Semester in Spain. Until then, Kathleen Fry has graciously agreed to be our Campus Elder for another semester, and that means for a short period of time, we have two ordained elders serving Austin Agape!



Oh Lauron. . . what would we do without you?










Who would impersonate Hermione Granger in a Snuggie?









Who would wear a ridiculous amount of hats just for our amusement?














Who would eat chairs and live to tell the tale?





The truth is this: We couldn't imagine Austin Agape without you, Lauron!


Here are some notes of encouragement from your friends and fellow-ministers at Austin Agape!


"Girino! I'm so glad to have you as our elder! I'm pretty positive you will be even more blessed in this position than you are, and we'll be too! More joy to everybody!"
