CRYSTAL FALLS — United Lutheran Church will celebrate summer with special services and guests in July.
The Rev. Pete Warmanen, a son of the congregation and FLLC who is known for his enthusiastic approach to life and ministry, will be guest preacher Sunday and Monday, July 16. Warmanen is currently the lead pastor at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church in Arlington Heights, Ill. He and his wife, Jen (Mackie) both graduated from Forest Park High School in 1995.
