We are incredibly blessed by Maria's talents at accompanying congregational music. Whether it's a jazz piece, a traditional African hymn, a Latin processional song, or any of a host of other musical styles, Maria makes our church's song better. 

She and her husband, Tom, have been longtime residents of the Shorewood community. (You may have even seen the familiar sight of them walking their dog, Ruby.)

We're happy to welcome Hilary to Kingo's staff! Her first day was August 24th.

If you had to use one word to describe Danette, it would be "flexible". She is enthusiastic about yoga and tai chi, for starters, and brings an extraordinary degree of flexibility and capability to the church's administrative ministry. 

If you call or email the church, or drop by during the week, Danette will likely be your first point of contact. You will also see her most Sunday mornings in worship, usually with her husband Paul and granddaughter Charlotte.

Danette has a long background in administrative work, but feels like she's found her true calling in bringing these gifts to a ministry setting. In 2011, she graduated from diakonia, a two-year lay ministry education program of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
