Featured Servant - Trish Landrum
From Young Adults to Bible studies to interior design, the areas in which Trish Landrum serves at Sam Jones are many. In January 2009, Trish and husband Steve helped start the Young Adult Sunday school class and still serve as the leaders. Through her service in the class, Trish is an important part of the faith journey of many young adults at our church.
Bible studies are another area of service important to Trish. She is a Bible study leader, most recently teaching the study 'Five Conversations You Must Have with Your Daughter.' She has also served as a facilitator for The Women's League Studies. Additionally, Trish played an important part in the 'Illumination' event for Women's League by lending her interior design talent to the stage design for the event.
Trish's interior design talent has also been shared with the church on a more broad scale. She has helped with the interior decorating in the Family Life Center, Sanctuary building, and the Youth House.
We are thankful for the many gifts that Trish willingly shares with our church in service to the Lord!
