A letter from Leslie Cenezy, chair of the Communications and Program Coordinator search committee.

Dear Blacknall family,

The last two years have included many staff transitions at Blacknall. While it is always a difficult process to see treasured friends and coworkers go, it’s also an opportunity to receive new ones. The search committee included Leslie Cenezy, Goodie Bell, Hillary Train, Chad Weinard, Hana Kamiya, Lisa Mitchell and Lucy Cate, who was originally chair and is enjoying time with her newborn. We met for six months, changed the position from part time to full time, and received more than 20 applicants on our way to discovering our new coordinator. We are particularly grateful for this committee’s faithfulness, diligence and perseverance in what was a lengthy and challenging process.

We are excited to introduce to you Sondra Haaga! Sondra, her husband Parker and their daughter Alethea have been attenders of Blacknall since 2015. She comes with over 16 years of education and experience in communications, marketing, graphic design, production, event management, volunteer coordination, office administration and all of the related technological tools. In addition to this wealth of knowledge, Sondra obtained a Master of Theological Studies from Duke Divinity, focusing on New Testament biblical studies and exegesis. We are delighted to see how the Lord will use her many gifts in service to Him at Blacknall.

Please say hello and welcome to Sondra! Her email is shaaga@blacknall.org. She (and I) will also receive emails sent to churchoffice@blacknall.org.

Cheerfully,

Leslie Cenezy
Business Manager
