How are they doing? What is the history of growth (numbers) in other total ministries?
They are doing very well, indeed. They have new enthusiasm and more money for mission and ministry. The Rev. Linda Lundgren, locally affirmed priest from Trinity, Hermantown, writes: “I can honestly say since we have implemented Total Ministry our congregation has grown 100%. Our usual attendance on a Sunday was around 20 to 25 people. We now average around 60 to 65. Our Sunday School has grown and we have moved into a new church.” St. Matthew’s, Chatfield, has built an addition and the Rev. Anne Scheible, locally affirmed priest, says that “All of us, team and congregation, are enthusiastic about our model of ministry . . . . Our whole congregation has learned to be ministers and we’re very good at being there for each other.
