Wendy and her husband, Brian, were confirmed and married at South Shore Trinity Lutheran Church (LCMS) in White Bear Lake. They reside in Shakopee and have two grown children, Amanda and Cameron, a grandson, Levi, a dog, Maggie and a cat, Smokey. Wendy currently attends Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Prior Lake where she sings in the Alleluia choir, plays with the Joyful Noise Ringers, subs for Preschool Sunday school, assists with VBS, and is their Recording Secretary. Most of her free time is now spent enjoying being Grammie for Levi, but her other hobbies include walking, reading, knitting, crocheting, boating, and various other activities and crafts. She loves being able to serve the Lord by putting her accounting background to use as St. Paul’s Office Manager.

God’s blessing to you! My name is Susan Parrish and I am an organist here at St. Paul’s.  Each day is a new adventure and God always opens the doors to show Jesus’ love to others. God called our family from Michigan to Prior Lake in March of 2009 where my husband, Brent, serves as pastor of Fishlake Immanuel Lutheran Church.  In my free time, I enjoy playing the piano/organ, putting puzzles together, spending time with family and leading our contemporary worship team at our church. Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men….It is the Lord you are serving – Colossians 3:23, 24b.
