Goodbye and Welcome

After 15 years of dedicated service, Chief Financial Officer Marilyn Patterson has decided to retire. She has played a pivotal role in ensuring the financial integrity and strength of our church. We are deeply grateful for her unwavering commitment and many contributions to our mission. Marilyn and her husband Joe will continue to attend St. John the Divine. Be sure to thank Marilyn for her exceptional service and wish her all the best in retirement when you see her.

At the same time, we are pleased to announce that John Countzler is joining us as our new Financial Controller. John brings decades of experience in financial leadership roles, including the past nine years as the Chief Financial Officer for Ronald McDonald House. We are delighted to welcome him to our team. Please extend a warm welcome to John as he steps into this important role.
