Grace Welcomes Interim Pastor, Marsha Smith
Pastor Marsha Smith comes from the Western Iowa Synod where she served two congregations in the Loess Hills area, Soldier Lutheran and Faith Lutheran for the past 3 and half years. She has recently moved to Coralville to be near her daughter, Celeste and husband, Ryan, and only granddaughter, Aoife (pronounced Ee-ffa). Her other daughter, Rachel also joined her to start her new career in cosmetology in the Iowa City area. Pastor Marsha has also served in Algona, Iowa for 8 years, Crookston, MN for 13 years and she started her ministry career just down the road in Menlo, IA for 3 years.
In her free time, she enjoys numerous crafts, gardening, walking her two Maltese dogs and camping. And, of course, is looking forward to countless hours of babysitting her granddaughter Aoife, taking her to the park, reading stories and patiently waiting for her to get old enough to teach her crafting!
Help us give Pastor Smith a warm welcome!
