Hello Saint Mark Lutheran Church members, visitors and everyone else, 

It is such a pleasure to be here with everyone in spirit if not face to face! As many know, we often are moving along with our plans and sometimes God redirects us. 

I am a life-long Alaskan growing up in Anchorage and taking a break to live in Hawaii in the late 80's. After about three years, I finally thawed out and moved back to raise my children here in the best state ever. We lived in the MatSu Valley and found it to be a glorious place to raise a young family. I have been back in Anchorage for many years now and am looking forward to one of our great Alaskan summers.

Fulfilling the duties in this role is rewarding and challenging in making sure every nuance is delivered just so. I love working with color, music, almost anything technical so this has been great to jump in with both feet and make some serious strides in analyzing, organizing, keeping the flow of operations going, and learning new things along the way. To sum it up - it's perfect!

In my downtime, I've taken up a family tradition of knitting and get a lot out of it - both in completing a project and praying for whomever is the intended recipient while placing the stitches. Have a favorite stitch or pattern? I'd love to see it!

The plan is to be in the office  Tuesdays – Fridays 10 a.m. to 2p.m. 

Thank you all for making me feel welcome here and looking forward to meeting more of you!

Be blessed! 

Brenda
