My profession is Director of Christian Education (DCE)
My title is Director of Transformation Ministries at First Trinity (how cool is that title?). It means I am responsible for leading a team of staff and volunteers in the areas of Christian Education and discipleship for all ages. Think: “help people grow in their walk with Jesus.”
I LOVE MY JOB!!!
So, I’m on the staff at First Trinity and they let me lead some ministries and serve with way cool people along the way. Of course, that doesn’t mean that they agree with everything I post here. It’s just my opinion. Consider yourself warned!
The thing I love about blogging is it is not a one-way conversation! So, let’s hear from you…hope you’ll leave some comments and we’ll continue on the journey together!
Cindy- Thanks so much for the comment! I’m glad you liked the class in Faith. I totally agree about the space down there–I also like the round tables because I think they’re good for discussion and connections. I think it’s interesting you thought the lighting was better. I wonder if anyone else did?
Hi Sue! (…I feel like I’m interrupting a conversation!)
I’m probably not at the correct area to contact you, but I’m looking for a Mr. Paul Gerlach (who it seems takes great pictures here). I went to school in the Bronx, at Grace Lutheran School in 1964-1965. We had a wonderful teacher named Mr Gerlach. If he would not mind saying hello to me through my email tgear3@yahoo.com that would be terrific!
Sorry for posting this here. And if it’s a different Mr Gerlach, well I’m sure he’s wonderful too! Lol!
Thanks , Pete God Bless!
Pete-
I know the Paul Gerlach you’re talking about and it’s not the same guy. To make things even funnier, our Paul Gerlach has a wife named “Lynn” and the teacher you’re talking about has a wife named “Linda”. Funny world!
My wife Linda saw the blog from Pete Broemel. He WAS a student in my fifth grade class at Grace Lutheran School in the Bronx. That school is now closed. I guess I am a jinx to Lutheran Schools, since THREE of the five Lutheran schools at which I taught are now closed due to low enrollments.
I really am curious how Pete got the name “Paul Gerlach” on your website. What a coincidence that he would contact you at First Trinity when I live about 4 miles away in North Tonawanda.
I love the sign language class, grate job.
Keep on doing your best and the lord will do the rest.
Could you put some songs on your blog in ASl of course.

Hi Sue, i was reading your blog and I came across your entry about the Helping Hands employee who helped you that day. I am a helping hands coordinator for Wegmans and I was curious as to which your you were shopping at that day. The picture you posted was great and I would like to put one of those buckets in my store.
Hi, Drew–
Thanks for visiting the blog. I am a Wegman’s fan!! I shop at the Alberta Dr. store in Amherst, NY, but I think I got the picture of the internet–did a Google image search for Wegman’s umbrella’s or something like that.
