Greetings to you, Alpine Lutheran Church!
Grace and peace to you from God our Creator and Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord.
I am thrilled to be with you all serving as your Pastor. I am looking forward to getting to know you all and hearing all the stories that you have to tell, stories about your lives and stories about your time here at Alpine. I am thinking creatively about ways that I can get to know you all in the beginning months. I welcome you to come by the office for a chat or give me a call! I will be setting up visitation times soon so please stay tuned.
I will be in the office with open office hours Tuesday through Thursday from 10am until 3pm. You are welcome during these times. I will be in the office on Fridays for closed office hours and utilizing that time for sermon preparation and other work needs. I can be available by appointment as well! Every week I will be sharing my schedule with Lynn including what meetings I have and when. My hope is to be as transparent with my time as I can be.
Nathi and Thomas and I are excited to join this community! Thank you for welcoming us! We continue to trust in where God is calling us and leading us! Thanks be to God!
Respectfully,
Pastor Rachel Perkins-Gama
