When I began at Glenn, the world was emerging from a pandemic, and I was uncertain what the future might hold. Now, three years into my role as Communications Director, I am amazed by how much we have accomplished as a church.

As I scroll through the photos I've taken over these years, it feels surreal to watch the masks from the pandemic era slowly disappear, revealing the joy beneath them. I vividly remember the relief we felt when we could finally gather safely as a community. Memories of Trunk or Treat costumes, youth plays, water slides and laughter at Back to School splashes, Christmas Eve pageants and nativity walk-throughs, somber Good Fridays, and joyful Easter mornings come rushing back.

I am deeply appreciative of my time at Glenn and proud of what we have achieved together. I have grown so much and have Glenn to thank for that. I will forever be grateful for the experiences and relationships Glenn has given me. Thank you for trusting me over these past three years. I have learned so much from all of you and will miss seeing each of you.

Some highlights of my time here:

My last design project: Glenn By the Numbers! The Glenn staff and Generosity Committee worked together to create this. Check out what we have been up to!
During my time here, we hosted the memorial service for First Lady Rosalynn Carter. You can watch it here.
We have doubled our Instagram followers since I began. Follow us!
And finally, I will leave you with some of my favorite pictures below.

Signing off for now,

Erica
Director of Communications ‘24

P.S. I will make sure to keep in touch with an update after my wedding on October 4th!
