A New US Citizen - Elizabeth Moore
This afternoon I will have one of those privileged moments that pastors are blessed to enjoy! At 2:45 this afternoon at the Federal Building in Hartford, Elizabeth Moore will become a United States citizen and I will be in attendance to witness the event.
Elizabeth came to this country as a refugee from Liberia, where her family was caught up in the midst of the civil war in that country. She was subjected to both observe and experience brutal atrocities during that time. She arrived at Trinity in late 2004, having been relocated to Hartford by Catholic Charities under the auspices of the UN High Commission on Refugees. By God's grace, her own hard work and perseverance, and with the support of her family here at Trinity, Elizabeth has a job, is a successful full-time student in nursing, an active member of our congregation serving on the Altar Guild, and is blossoming in her new life in the United States.
On Sunday morning we will celebrate Elizabeth's becoming a citizen -- please join us and congratulate her in person!
Have a blessed day! Your brother in Christ, Don+
