UPDATE: Deaconess Call … Profile on Joanna Lee

In recent weeks Zion's Call Committee has reviewed documentation from seven candidates, and from there narrowed its search down to two. Most recently, on March 20th the Committee interviewed the two candidates. Following the interviews and much discussion, the committee unanimously chose Joanna Lee as the candidate to whom they would like to extend a call. 

Joanna Ruth Lee (Johnson) was born in Saginaw, MI and grew up in Newton, NC. She is the daughter of an LCMS pastor, and the third of six siblings. While serving as an LCMS missionary in Taiwan, she met her husband, Richard (Chun Yu Lee). The Lees have a daughter, Janna, born in 2020, and a son, Leopold, born in 2022. 

Joanna will obtain her Master of Arts in Deaconess Studies this August from Concordia Theological Seminary at Fort Wayne, IN. She is currently interning at Perry Lutheran Homes and Christ Lutheran Church in Perry, IA. Prior to seminary, she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Church Music from Concordia University, St. Paul, MN. Joanna is a Rostered Director of Parish Music (Commissioned 2017). 

On Sunday, April 28th following the 10:30 service, a Voters' Meeting will be held during which the committee will recommend Joanna Lee for approval by the congregation. 

Please make every effort to attend this important meeting and participate in the call process.
