Amanda Kossow currently serves as pastor at Zion Lutheran Church in Marinette, WI. She says, “There is a t-shirt from Grand Island, MI which describes me to a “T.” It states, ‘Into the woods I go to lose my mind and find my soul. I am an avid animal and nature lover who hikes, kayaks, and snowshoes as often as possible. Having spent much of my life in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, I feel a strong kinship with creation, particularly trees. During my time in seminary and in all three of my calls, I’ve also been gaining a deeper appreciation for and learning from my bond with human neighbors whose culture differs from mine.”
