Hello Everyone!
I am Angela Shannon, known as Angie by my friends. I am a second-career pastor, working in a variety of social work situations prior to becoming a pastor. In January 2008, I celebrated 11 years in ordained ministry. I live in Fort Wayne, Indiana where I currently serve as the pastor for mission, outreach and evangelism at Trinity English Lutheran Church http://www.trinityenglish.org/. Trinity had the blessed opportunity to spend time with the HKPB delegations during their visits to the Indiana-Kentucky Synod. It was a wonderful opportunity to share a meal as we celebrated our diversity and our common destiny in Christ Jesus. When the opportunity came to join the I-K Synod delegation for this trip, I jumped at the chance!
I have traveled extensively in this world, that is, at once joyous but all too often sad. Each time I travel, I learn again that God is infinitely more expansive and “has healing in his wings” more than I anticipated or could ever imagine. Then too, I am reminded in a very tangible way, the transforming power of Christ’s love, which brings the hope that does not disappoint. Hallelujah!!!! Oh, er, I digress. Well, as you see, I enjoy preaching and singing God’s praises.
My family is important to me. My mother is living and my brothers and their wives live in the Midwest. I have two nephews and a niece who are the joy of my heart and the light in my eyes. I have a large extended family and many friends who are like my family. I also have two cats, Hiram and Rudi, who think they are my joy and light. Don’t tell them otherwise—just let them keep thinking it!

God bless you and annoint you in such a way that you may be a blessing for those you touch and serve in Jesus name. Together in ministry across the miles, Marysol
