Meet our newest pastor
Eric Waters. Here's his first sermon at the X-Alt service at Lytham Rd., UALC (Upper Arlington Lutheran Church which has 3 campuses) and it's on God's wrath.

He's not reading. He speaks the scripture from memory, and it makes a huge difference as you watch him, because he's also performing it with facial expression and hand movements. But before you get the good news, you need the bad news. So it's a good introduction not only to him, but to the gospel. His speech pattern, you'll notice, is not midwestern--he's come to us from Fargo, ND but grew up in New York state. However, he was a Russian major in college, worked for awhile in Siberia, and I think I detect that in the up and down, the flow, the staccato. See what you think.

I love his voice...it gets your attention, drawing you into the Scriptures he is quoting.
Thanks for the information. We hope to go this Sunday.
Pastor Eric and his family were a wonderful blessing to First Luteran Church in Fargo, and are already missed greatly. I hope everyone is as mesmorized by his sermons as my husband, our oldest son and I were each time we heard him speak.

Laura, we in Columbus are praying for you in Fargo (March 2009) as you prepare for the flooding.
