Introducing Your New Executive Director

Greetings Alumni and Friends of St. John’s College Alumni Association.

My name is Lori (Johnson) Williams. I graduated as a Parish Worker in January, 1977. My first job after graduating from SJC was at Immanuel in Rock Island, IL. I stayed there a little over two years. My next job was at Christ in Fort Worth, TX, for two years. From there, I took a variety of jobs in the corporate world for seven years before returning to Colorado, where I grew up. In Colorado, I worked in the business world for several years, then I took a job as the bookkeeper at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church and School, working under a CPA, but doing mostly bookkeeping tasks for five years. At that time, the school had an enrollment of about 400 in Kindergarten to 8^th grade. After that, I went to work in the Rocky Mountain District office doing administrative functions for the office and for Gift Planning, including preparation for District conventions. After that, I decided to work in the preschool sector for Cherry Creek School District #5, until my husband became very ill and really could not be left alone.
The Lord blessed me with 31 years of marriage and one daughter, Bethany. She grew up and went to Concordia University in Seward, NE, and majored in Secondary Education. After graduation, she taught for five years. During that time, she married Chris, whom she met while in Seward. Chris was also a Secondary Education student. They are now at Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, and are heading out for Vicarage in Seymour, IN. They have 2 daughters .

I ask for your prayers as we continue the journey as Johnnies and as an Alumni Association.

Lori Williams
