Welcome Jeff Dodson!
Please welcome Holy Covenant’s New Interim Minister for Children and Families, Jeff Dodson! Jeff begins Dec. 1st and will overlap with Donelle for 3 weeks. We give thanks for Donelle’s time with us, and wish her well as she finishes her Master of Divinity in December and pursues ministry opportunities in 2010. Here’s a word from Jeff:
Greetings Holy Covenant UMC! My name is Jeffrey Dodson and I am pleased to be your new Minister for Children and Families! I’m sure you’d like to know a little about me, so here are some fun facts: I grew up in the mountains of Colorado spending my time snowboarding, horseback riding, and backpacking up the many 14,000 foot mountain peaks that are all around. I graduated from Ripon College in Wisconsin in 2006 with my BA in Theatre and moved to numerous states to work as a licensed interim Minister for small churches. I most recently worked as a Youth and Young Adult Coordinator with the United Church of Christ in Colorado Springs before moving here to Chicago, where I am currently attending Chicago Theological Seminary to become a Reverend. I love to read sci-fi and play guitar in my spare time, and learn useless facts whenever I can. There you have it! A little light shedding on who I am. And as our time together grows I hope to have a little light shed on each of you that I might know you better. Blessings to you all, Jeff.
