Joyful Greetings to the beloved community at Tippe! It has been such a joy to work alongside Pastor Karen throughout 2022 as she has prepared to retire. As of November 30th, Pastor Karen has moved into her "refirement" and we here at Tippe are embracing the restart of our Divine Intervention warming room and the other powerful ministries that are central to being a Matthew 25 congregation.
We invite all seekers to join us for worship and to serve alongside us in ministry.
A bit about my life before Tippe: my undergraduate studies (English, Sociology, Religion) led to a career in social work, which expanded into educational and mental health settings. At mid-life I sought a graduate degree that would embrace wholeness and meaning-making, which led me to seminary where I earned a degree in the Ministry of Writing. I then entered campus ministry and pursued a Master of Education that focused on spiritual discernment approaches. After a decade among undergraduates, I felt called to enter the pastorate, and served a Quaker meeting (church) in New York state 2017-2021. I am an avid reader and I love to travel! I turn to music and art, words and poetry for inspiration, sustenance, comfort, and insight. I greatly enjoy singing, hiking, dancing, and I listen ardently to a wide range of music.
I am deeply grateful to be here at Tippe, and encourage you to join us as we strive to care for others.
