Welcome Pastor Heidi!
As we look forward into a new year with hope and excitement, we are blessed to welcome a new interim pastor for children, youth, and family ministry. Many of you met Pastor Heidi during our weekly meetings. For those who didn’t, she will make her debut as presiding minister this Sunday, January 10th. She will go forward with our children’s messages in 2021 and look for ways to expand our virtual opportunities for children, youth, and family fellowship.
A note from Pastor Heidi:
“I am excited to serve at Holy Trinity as your interim pastor for children, youth, and family ministry! I am passionate about witnessing to God’s boundless love and grace for all people and how it transforms us, our relationships and our world. I have a deep calling to create spaces for authentic connection and relationships, inside and outside the walls of the church, and to explore ways we can live life together as a faith community.
I am originally from Iowa and am the oldest of four. I have degrees in Political Science, a B.A. from Luther College and a M.A. from George Mason University, as well as a M.Div from the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia. My husband Ike and I live in Burke with our baby son Alexander. I enjoy going for walks, practicing yoga, coffee and spending time outdoors and am a big fan of Star Wars, the musical Hamilton, and history, all of which you will likely hear referenced in a sermon at some point!
I am grateful for the chance to walk with you in this time and place at Holy Trinity. I look forward to getting to know you and for the opportunity to expand children, youth and family ministry in this community of faith. I can’t wait to see how the Spirit will move in our time together!”
