Kara first heard about The United Church during her undergraduate years at Colorado College from her good friend, Susie Bjork.  It wasn’t until she graduated from Eden Theological Seminary and served a church in St. Louis that she moved to Los Alamos and was able to visit this church.  We keep Kara very busy!  She has been part of the Monday morning Women’s Book Study and the Friday Morning Bible Study.  Through the Friday gatherings she met Pat Slentz and began to “pinch hit” for her at the hospital as the LAMC volunteer Chaplain.  Also through Pat, she became aware of Los Alamos Visiting Nurses and began working for them as a Hospice Chaplain. 

        Kara was involved in and eventually became a coordinator of the LA Ministerial Alliance that meets monthly.  She was part of the county’s chaplain core in providing pastoral care to the Police Department, Fire Department, and community during times of crises.  Kara has also served as the associate for liturgy and pulpit supply at White Rock Presbyterian Church.

Suzanne Johnson has served at The United Church longer than any other staff member, having begun her work here in 1967.  She came to us as a young church music graduate from Ohio.  Her love of sacred music competes with her admiration of pop music and jazz (she is an avid Sting concert-goer).  Suzanne’s husband, J.D., is a theoretical physicist, retired from Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Tjett's professional background is in Marketing and Customer Service.  A mildly professional musician, he sings and plays his trumpet all over New Mexico.
