We are so excited that Elizabeth Hofrichter will be engaging in her congregational-based "Ministry in Context" experience with us this semester and in the fall. Ministry in Context is a field education component of the Master of Divinity (M.Div.) degree program that provides students the occasion to explore and discover the joys, challenges, and opportunities for ministry and leadership in the congregation. The Ministry in Context runs concurrent with her online classroom work and will allow Elizabeth to apply and contextualize what she is learning and discovering in the classroom. Learn more about Elizabeth via her introduction below and learn more about the Ministry in Context experience here. We hope you will join us for her installation service happening soon.

Greetings, Spirit of Grace! My name is Elizabeth Hofrichter. Last Fall, my family and I joined the congregation in membership. I am currently in my second semester of working toward an MDiv at PLTS. This past week I started my Ministry in Context here at SOG, which means I will be volunteering in different capacities throughout the Spring and Fall of this year. I will be getting to know the staff and congregation, trying on different leadership roles, and learning in action. I look forward to seeing you during worship, perhaps at a ministry team meeting, or maybe even a one-on-one conversation. Feel free to ask my about my journey and I look forward to serving, learning, and growing with you.
