A brunch and a luncheon

will follow services at 8:30 and 11 a.m., respectively,

Feb. 27, by reservation. "We are looking forward to

having Pastor Sue with us," said the Rev. John

Weber, mission developer and pastor of the Lutheran

congregation from its beginnings. "She's a dynamic

speaker and we will be blessed by her presence."

Gamelin said she too is

excited about coming. "I treasure times where I am

invited to share in a congregation's journey," she

said. "It will be wonderful to be with Christ our

Shepherd in its 25th year - so much to thank God

for."

Gamelin received her B.A.

at Duke University and her master's of divinity at the

Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg. She was

ordained in 1980 and has served two Florida parishes as

pastor as well as serving in the Florida-Bahamas Synod

office.

Since 1995, Gamelin has

been responsible for leadership development and support

within the four states in the Southeastern Synod:

Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Tennessee.

Her work has appeared in

numerous church publications and she has taken an active

role in church assignments worldwide. Her husband,

Timothy Gamelin, is pastor of the Lutheran Church of the

Incarnation in Marietta. The couple has four children and

two grandchildren.
