Trisha started out as a children's and youth ministry volunteer -- helping us bring Bible Lessons to life on the Kingdom Connection stage, and if that wasn't enough, she dove head first into our VBS skits, too. Trisha played so many different characters through the years, if I listed them all in this newsletter, it would turn into a book. This said Trish's favorite, and perhaps most memorable, character was the robe-wearing, New Yorker, 'Mrs. Lipkowicz' from VBS a few years back.
As her kiddos (Brett, Reese, Roni) grew up, Trisha stepped into middle school and senior high youth ministry where she eventually came on staff as our official Ministry Assistant.
Trisha loved working with our youth and the youth loved Trisha. In fact, while her staff role at Redeemer evolved over the years, her contribution to our Youth Ministry programs remained steady. Trisha continues to assist with Youth Ministry whenever the opportunity and/or need arises.
From Ministry Assistant, Trisha stepped into the role of Staff Accountant taking advantage of her schooling and former career as an accountant. Not an easy role, especially in a church! And never one to shy away from a challenge, Trisha most recently stepped up to fill two important gaps on our staff -- Human Resources Director and Office Manager. Many of you affectionately know Trisha as our COVID-19 expert.
We are thankful for Trisha and see God's light shining through her brightly. While she is no longer officially on staff, she is forever a part of our Redeemer family -- a loved Sister-in-Christ.
Please help us congratulate Trisha as she begins this next chapter in her life!
p.s. We love you, Trish!
