I began the process of candidacy with the Virginia Synod in 2011 and then I received approval within this synod in 2016. It was in 2011 that I began the process of candidacy with this synod and in 2016 I received approval for ordained ministry. I graduated from Lutheran Theological Seminary Gettysburg in 2016 and was ordained in January 2017. I served my first call in the Allegheny Synod with the folks of First Faith Lutheran Cooperative, a two-point parish, for 7 ½ years. I began serving this community of Lakeside Lutheran Church on July 10th of this year. God’s move upon my life enables my husband and I to live geographically closer to our children, their partners, and our grandson, who live in the Tidewater area. It also brings me closer to my mom and siblings, who live in Goldsboro N.C. I have always loved being near water, whether a river, lake, or ocean, and I am so very happy for God to have called me to be here with everyone, so that we can share the good news of Jesus the Christ together.
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace (Numbers 6:24-26).
