After the Navy moved the Halvorsons from San Diego to Arlington in 2017, they found themselves at a St. Michael’s 8AM service. Carol and Tom found the congregation to be welcoming, generous and filled with opportunities to grow spiritually, socially and as a community. . They have three adult children who now each live on the west coast, but visits are always being planned. Carol recently retired from full time teaching and is now filling her time with tutoring math, improving her pickleball serve, finally learning the game of golf, and traveling.

Some of the rewarding ways she found to serve at Saint Michal’s include Hospitality, Stewardship Committee, AFAC and helping lead Children’s Worship. Carol is honored to serve on the Vestry and looks forward to connecting with others and supporting efforts to improve programs that make a lasting impact on our lives.
