Polly is a transplant. She moved from the Pittsburg area to Norfolk with her husband and children, and raised her children there. She worked as a Church Administrator and was active in First Lutheran Norfolk. In 2006, she decided to move to Richmond to be close to her daughter. The resemblance of the building to First Lutheran Norfolk was what first drew her to First English Richmond.
On the inside of First English, she was pleased to learn about Adult Sunday School classes. Polly liked the idea of small groups of adults learning and growing in the Lutheran faith. Her choice was made. First English Lutheran Richmond was her new Church home.
She felt welcomed and began learning alongside other adults. After a while, Polly joined the teaching staff, focusing her teaching gifts on adults and their need to know the Bible and the church’s teachings.
Polly didn’t stop there. She served as a member of council, volunteered in the office and supported Leisure Group activities as well as Wednesdays Together.
Polly was looking for a church home that felt like the church home she was used to. While the outside of the building was the first connection to that feeling of comfort, once inside, she connected with her spiritual gifts and God used her to help this community we all share thrive and grow.
