Dear Good People of Trinity Church,
It is a joy to introduce two new members of our Trinity Church staff!
Please join me in warmly welcoming Anne Thomsen Lord, our new Director of Family Ministries, and Catherine Breed, who will serve as our Family Ministries Advisor. We are incredibly blessed to have these two faithful, wise, and dedicated leaders joining our team.
With Anne and Catherine’s guidance, we are poised to grow and strengthen our ministries for children, youth, and families—through education, service, and worship that reflect the heart of our community and the truth of the Gospel.
Their presence is a gift, and I am excited for the journey ahead as they help lead us forward in love and faith. They will officially begin on August 15.
You’ll find their bios below. I hope you’ll take a moment to read about them and join me in giving them a warm Trinity welcome.
Peace and blessings,
Paul+
