Led by guest minister Laura Ingerson.
Laura is involved with the Living Legacy Project, and in leading Living Legacy Pilgrimage Tours to important sites in the history of the American Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 60s. The focus of this service is on this bold claim: We are the proof that decency, humanity, and hope – no, the expectation for wholeness and peace among us, is possible.
Laura grew up in Chicago, Illinois, is a graduate of Illinois State University, Normal, Illinois with both a BS and MS in Education. She taught second grade low achievers, and second and third grade academically gifted students in the Joliet, Illinois Public School System. She served as a Community Worker at St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church, Washington, D.C., then attended and earned a Master of Divinity at The Lutheran Theological Seminary, Gettysburg, PA.
Laura was ordained in 1985 and served as the Associate Pastor of Bethany Lutheran, Forestville, MD, the solo and then Senior Pastor of Resurrection Lutheran, Roxbury, MA, the Pastor at All Saints Lutheran, Baltimore, MD, as the Associate Pastor at The Lutheran Church of God’s Love, Newtown, PA., and shared leadership as a pastor developer with her husband Jerrett, at Journey of Faith Church, Baltimore, MD.
Now retired, Laura enjoys reading, cooking and travel. With Jerrett, she has two stepdaughters, six grandsons, a granddaughter, and a Goldendoodle puppy, Oliver.
