SPRINGFIELD , Ohio – For 18 years, The Rev. Dr. Michael D. Wuchter, Wittenberg University Class of 1968, served as pastor to his alma mater. While he passed away in 2000, his words live on through a compilation of his sermons published by his wife Shirley Dyer Wuchter, also Wittenberg class of 1968.
Uplifting Christ Through Autumn, Sermons for the Fall Season includes 12 sermons Wuchter wrote for occasions and events that come at the end of the church year. The collection begins with a sermon for Holy Cross Day and includes sermons for World Communion Day, Reformation Sunday, All Saints Day before ending with a Thanksgiving Day sermon.
“Michael Wuchter’s painting with words, his weaving of poetry into the art of the sermon, is what makes these words worth reading. These sermons seem to sing from resurrection life beyond death, and focus our eyes, ears, and hearts on the living, breathing, poetic, and art-filled Gospel. Read. See. Hear. Imagine. These sermons will allow you to touch the holy,” wrote Canon Howard Anderson, president and warden, Cathedral College of Washington National Cathedral.
Wuchter was senior pastor of First Lutheran Church in Duluth, Minn., when he passed away while traveling in the African nation of Namibia in 2000.
“If only his sermons were published, his passion for the Word and his unrelenting desire to relate the messages from the Bible to everyday life would be extended, and his ministry could go on,” wrote Shirley Dyer Wuchter.
