Dear Holy Trinity Community,

I have bittersweet news to share. Claire Schoepp has resigned as Director of Operations at Holy Trinity. Her husband, Isaac, has an exciting new position as a head rigger and arena manager for Circus Juventas, the largest performing arts youth circus school in North America. Interestingly, when Isaac was growing up, his family toured the US and Canada full-time as a unique family ministry and entertainment/juggling troupe. Since the circus school is in St. Paul, the Schoepp family will be relocating to the Twin Cities later this summer.

Claire’s departure will be a tremendous loss for our community as we had hoped she would be at Holy Trinity for many years. Claire’s gifts and skills for her role as Director of Operations are too numerous to name. When I interviewed Claire in the summer of 2021 she named how she viewed all of administration as ministry, and this has certainly been how she lived out her service as a deaconess at Holy Trinity.

More transition details will be announced later, but for now please consider who you might know who would be a fit for our Director of Operations position. Here is a link that you can share with folks who come to mind. Please reach out to me with any questions or concerns.

Grace and peace,

Pr. Craig Mueller
