Please Welcome Pastor Anton (Tony) Scheer

This week's newsletter sadly lacks the devotion from Pastor David, but we get in it's place a short biography about our interim Pastor, Tony Scheer. Please be sure to welcome him warmly this Sunday as he presides over our services. We are happy to have him as part of our BSLC family!

Pastor Tony Scheer has been a Pastor in the ELCA for 24 years and is currently on a personal
sabbatical and waiting for a new call to California where he spent over 15 years of ministry and
his family still resides. Pastor Scheer most recently was the Pastor at Spirit of Hope Lutheran in
Mesa, Arizona.
Tony was married to Carol Scheer for 34 years before she unexpectedly died in 2022. Together
they have two grown daughters, Kirstin and Kari, and two grandchildren, Grayson and Sofia.
Pastor Tony enjoys hiking, camping, and off-road driving. He is crazy about chocolate and loves
to visit with people especially when there is food involved.
Pastor Tony, who is lovingly called PT by his parishioners, is a people lover and has been
described by others as both a bounding St. Bernard and a Koala Bear. His personality is one of
openness and authentic care for others.
