Welcome Jennifer. We're looking forward to working with you as the Stated Clerk of Synod of Alaska-Northwest

New Synod Stated Clerk
Rev. Jennifer Pattee is a PC(USA) minister who enjoys the supporting roles in ministry that build and equip other leaders. As a minister, she taught at the University of Dubuque for the undergraduate program and seminary, served as a solo pastor, and most recently is also the Stated Clerk of Pacific Presbytery in Los Angeles. With a background in mathematics, she keeps the analytical part of her soul entertained by assisting an accountant with clergy tax preparation.

Originally from Idaho, Jennifer was ordained in the Boise Presbytery, with family still in Idaho and Washington. She especially experiences the wonder of God's creation when gazing at tall mountains and sitting near moving water.

The Synod of Alaska-Northwest is the council that represents the collection of Presbyteries that include Alaska, Washington and Northern Idaho. The Stated Clerk is the ecclesiastical administrator of this council, maintaining records of the synod while working with and supporting the work of the Presbyteries.

In collaboration with the Presbytery of Olympia, LPC's Action Plan Team will be hosting a "Mission Possible" night. Along with members of other congregations, we will begin with a tour of the Bryant Neighborhood Tour and hear about Trinity's story, share a meal, and then dive into Mission Possible.

Mission Possible is a game that takes participants through the design thinking process from big problems to creative use of resources to innovative solutions all in less than 2 hours. Participants will enjoy themselves and walk away with a much deeper understanding of how to address problems creatively. What takes months to learn in a classroom or workshop can be learned through playing a game.

If you'd like to join us, email Pastor Laura by Monday November 17th.
