Pastor Shane Anderson and Youth Leader Kyle Jaeger, of St. John’s Lutheran Church in Guttenberg, hosted a public child abuse prevention program titled Safe in the Sanctuary: Learn Skills to Protect Your Kids last week. Pastor Darrel Gerrietts and Rev. Mark A. Anderson, assistants to the Bishop of the Northeast Iowa Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, led the presentation.
This program comes on the heels of charges against Roger Carrier, 49, of Guttenberg, alleging five counts of sexual abuse in the third degree. Shane Anderson noted that Carrier was involved in many activities at St. John’s, and commented, “We want to address the issue and raise awareness.”
