We are pleased to announce that Jana Blomberg will be joining the St. Philip the Deacon staff to lead our Grade 5 and Elementary Special Events.
Jana is a child of the congregation with experience doing youth ministry with the YMCA’s Camp Ihduhapi, Luther Park Bible Camp, and Friends of the Boundary Waters. She also has been a volunteer at SPD in a variety of roles—including Sunday school teacher, confirmation guide, high school volunteer, and junior camp counselor for our Soul Sisterhood Art Camp. She is a graduate of Gustavus Adolphus.
“We’re delighted to be adding Jana to our already strong children, youth and family team,” said Makayla Dahleen, pastor of family life. “Given her experience and her knowledge of the congregation, she will be a wonderful leader for these important elementary school ministries.”
“I’m very excited to join the church I love in a more formal role,” said Jana. “I look forward to working with our 5th graders and elementary students and their families in the coming year.”
Jana will begin on Aug. 24, and the first Grade 5 Gathering will be Sept. 16. Families can register their 5th grader online.
Please join us in welcoming Jana!
