The Rev. Daniel E. Zielske, recently installed pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church of Greenwood (Clark Co., Wis.) and St. John Lutheran Church of Christie, was officially received into the North Wisconsin District of the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod, during the regular district convention session held in Wausau two weeks ago. He joined three other recent graduates who have accepted calls in this area, in signing the constitution before the convening body of 225 pastoral and lay delegates.
