Sarah Smith -- Office Manager -- Sarah is as we say, (from Lutherland, specifically northern Wisconsin) as of course are many from this congregation. She has been married for 39 years, with 3 adult sons, 1 lovely daughter-in-law and 2 rambunctious grandsons that she adores. Sarah has 2 rescue dogs that she and her husband love even though they shed hair constantly. 

She has been a member of First Lutheran Church since 1979 and has taught Sunday School, VBS, and been on Altar Guild since joining First Lutheran. She loves to walk, read, and loves BBC television, especially detective and historical fiction. She is honored to be on staff at Joy Lutheran since 2016.
