Synod welcomes Chris Hicks

We are deeply grateful for the dedication, commitment and leadership provided by Sally Ahrens in the many roles she has filled in her service to the synod, especially for the most recent work she has done being Peggy's assistant for 12 1/2 years. Her partnership has been instrumental in attention to details, high quality events and much more. The high integrity of Sally's work is much appreciated.  You can join us in thanking Sally by writing a short note with your own thoughts to Peggy@gulfcoastsynod.org as she will collect them to be gifted to Sally when we celebrate her ministry. 

In order to have a good transition there will be an overlap between Sally and new leadership. We are very happy to announce that Chris Hicks will join Peggy and the whole staff beginning this week.  This is a wonderful time as we celebrate and transition together. 

"God's word. Our hands." Not just words but a challenge, one that Chris has taken seriously at Living Word in Katy, where she and her family have been members for 20 years. Egypt, Bolivia, and Indonesia are all places they have also called home. Whether organizing a Global Mission Festival, teaching, weaving to garbage collectors in Cairo or working with Peggy on this new synod leadership development initiative, Chris is always amazed and excited to see what God is up to!
