Martha Isaacs announces retirement plans
Giving thanks for nearly 20 years of ministry
Martha Isaacs, coordinator of Presbyterian Women's ministries and programs, has announced plans to retire in May, at the conclusion of the program year. Martha joined the Covenant staff in June 1998 as receptionist and administrative secretary. In 2001, she was named the Director of New Member Enlistment and Presbyterian Women's Ministry, a full-time position she held until April 2012 when she became the part-time coordinator of Presbyterian Women's ministries.
"After nearly 20 remarkable years of serving Covenant in a professional capacity, I am filled with gratitude and deep joy," Martha says. "As I enter retirement, I can anticipate discovering new and creative ways of being engaged in the life of the church I love."
Martha has been instrumental in bringing many new members to our congregation and we are grateful for her contributions toward making Presbyterian Women the vibrant ministry that it is today. She will be missed. The Personnel Committee will begin work to ensure continuity in this important area. Stay tuned for plans to celebrate Martha and her many years of ministry among us.
