Meet Marsha Ackerman, Trinity's new Warden

At our Annual General Meeting this coming Sunday, we will will welcome Marsha Ackerman as new Warden, but we will need to say goodbye to Leigh as our Senior Warden who had been at the helm for only two months, when COVID-19 broke out in the USA. In the face of such challenges we are blessed that Leigh has been our Senior Warden because time and again she responded with with remarkable steadiness and graceful creativity to create connection and strengthen our community at a time that gathering in God's name has been very hard. It is hard to say goodbye and to express proper gratitude for the efforts Leigh has given to the well-being our Trinity parish. Thank you Leigh!

Our incoming warden, Marsha Ackerman has sent along the following as an introduction:

”My name is Marsha Ackerman and I have been attending Trinity Church on the Green for approximately 5 years along with my husband, Adam, and our sons, Jackson & Mason. I retired from professional opera singing a few years ago in order to spend more time with my family. Since then, I have returned to school myself to study Landscape Design and opened my own business in Woodbridge, where we live. Years ago, Adam joined the Air force scholarship program in order to fund medical school and during that time we traveled around the country from duty station to duty station. In this way, we have had the privilege of seeing both the strengths and weaknesses of many Episcopal communities. I am very passionate about ministering to children and have been the vestry member for this area for the past three years. I am also very passionate about outreach and the belief that through our acts for others in our community, we embody Christ on earth. It is our great hope that Trinity on the Green will continue to help us strengthen our spiritual foundation as well as that of our sons while we continue to offer our families gifts to the growth and strength of the Trinity missions. I am exceedingly honored to be elected warden and welcome the opportunity to serve.”
