Celebrating Sonja Tilley

Dear St. Matthew’s Parish Family,

Our wonderful Parish Administrator, Sonja, will soon be retiring after years of faithful and devoted service to St. Matthew’s. Sonja has been a steady presence in our parish life, offering care, organization, tech support, and kindness to clergy, staff, and parishioners alike.

In gratitude for all she has given to our community, we invite parishioners—if they wish—to contribute to a love offering in Sonja’s honor. This is entirely optional and is simply a way for us to express our appreciation and affection as she enters this next chapter of retirement and travel. To contribute, you can write a check with “Sonja Love Offering” in the memo line and drop it in the offering plate, mail it to the church, or bring it by the church office in an envelope addressed to the Financial Secretary, Jane Hamborsky.

We will also celebrate with a retirement coffee hour on Sunday, Feb 22nd after the 10:30 service! Thank you for helping us celebrate Sonja and for holding her in your prayers during this transition.

With gratitude,
St. Matthew’s Vestry
