There's a New Youth Director in Town!

Meet Sean
He is the New Youth Director at Trinity Lutheran Church.  We are so excited that he is on board.  A great addition to our staff and community.

A few weeks ago we had Sean introduce himself to the congregation in our weekly newsletter - here's a little of what he said...

"Hi, you may be asking yourself "who is this new youth minister coming in?" Well I do have an answer. My name is Sean Crayne and I was born in Las Vegas, Nevada. My family moved to southern Minnesota to a very small town called Welcome (population 727). But, my family is from the west coast, so it feels good to come back to where my family is from. The last four years I have been studying Youth and Family Ministry at Augsburg College in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Luckily I earned my degree (a touch of humor) and I'm excited to have this opportunity to teach your kids. It will be a journey. We will discuss the ideas of "through faith alone" and we will try to dive into an idea of vocation. I'm ecstatic to be teaching the confirmation class and am ready to switch it up a little bit from what I have done in the past."

"... I want to work to get to know each and every one of you, but I especially want to concentrate on the parents and - YOU - the young adults who are awaiting a beautiful summer. If you have any questions do not be afraid to approach me when you see me. The truth is though, I will probably end up talking to you first! I know The Lord will bless you and keep you throughout the rest of this week. I can't wait to meet you all!"

Sounds great right!!! - Well so far he has lived up to how excited he sounds.

As one of the Pastors who gets to work with Sean at TLC, I have to say that he's got some great ideas and energy and some serious silliness that comes through daily.

Stop on by TLC to meet Sean and get a boost of joy in your day...
