Mid-Missouri Lutheran Hospital Ministries extends Advent and Christmas greetings in the name of the Christ of our salvation.

If there is a time we do not want to be hospitalized it is during the Advent and Christmas seasons. Sometimes it is necessary. With winter weather and additional services and responsibilities, pastors may not be able to make all the pastoral calls they wish at the Columbia hospitals. Mid-Missouri Lutheran Hospital Ministries is ready to assist. This ministry has called Rev. Richard Ingmire to meet such needs. He can be reached at 573-231-2424 (cell); by email at ingmire67@hotmail.com.
