The Board Room at the Mid-South District office has been dedicated in Honor of Former Staff Member, Albert H. Behnke
On Saturday, May 10, current and former District Staff welcomed the family of the late Albert H. Behnke to the Cordova, Tennessee office for a very special dedication ceremony. A plaque was unveiled naming the District’s primary conference space the “Albert H. Behnke Board Room” in commemoration of the life and work of former Mid-South District staff member, Al Behnke. Al joined the Mid-South District staff in its founding year, 1966, to serve as Business Administrator and to build the new district’s church extension program. He later became the Mid-South’s first District Vice President for the Lutheran Church Extension Fund (LCEF) until his retirement in 1995. Called to glory in 2011, Al Behnke’s legacy lives on today through continued district-wide support of the mission of LCEF and other programs that seek the expansion of God’s Kingdom, both in the Mid-South and beyond.
What a special gathering!
