Interim Pastor Rebecca Thurman

Office Manager - Nancy Jahnke

I grew up in Austin, MN. When Bruce and I were first married we lived in Emmons, MN and then moved to Spirit Lake, IA, Bruce worked for Berkley's (a fishing equipment company) and I worked for the Great Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce and as a secretary for the elementary school principal. We moved up to the Twin Cities in 1978 and I was the secretary in the Volunteer Department at Mercy Hospital for 11 months - until our first child was born.

Bruce and I have three children: Scott who graduated from Irondale in 1997 and lives and works in Seattle, WA, Ross who graduated from

Irondale in 2001 and is attending UW Eau Claire and Kate who will graduate from Irondale in 2005.

While the children were young I did babysitting at home and volunteered a lot at Bel Air Elementary School and at Atonement. I was also a Cub Scout Den mother for 7 years. I started job sharing with Jan Kimble at Atonement in October of 1989 and also job shared with Betsy Carlson. In 1995 Betsy took another job and I was left alone in the office.

Atonement is a wonderful, stimulating and challenging place to be. It is great to be around excited and energized people who want to share the love of Jesus. I have become very aware of the Holy Spirit's presence in our lives!

King Kids Preschool Director -
Cindy Hanson

I am a graduate of Concordia College in Moorhead, MN where I received a BA in Education and met my husband. After four years in San Francisco, in the Army, we moved back home to Minnesota. When our oldest child was 4, I became the Director of King's Kids Preschool. I follow in many excellent footsteps (2002 marks our 30th year) and strive to keep our school doing its best for our students, families and teachers.
