Vestry

Janet Thorsrud, senior warden

Janet has been a member of St. Stephen’s in-the-Field Episcopal Church for 25+ years. This is her fifth time serving on the vestry, and she has been Senior Warden and Junior Warden in the past. She has also served on the alter guild for twelve years. Her favorite thing about St. Stephen’s is the opportunity it provides to serve our community.

Janet is a retired elementary school teacher, though she continues to teach swimming every summer. She first came to St. Stephen’s for the education that the Church provided for her children, and stayed for the free coffee and fellowship!

Janet enjoys gardening, watercolor painting, puzzles, and going to events with her friends!

Anthony Francis, member at large

By day, Anthony Francis teaches robots to learn; by night he writes science fiction and draws comic books. Anthony has been a member of Saint Stephens in-the-Field for 17 years and has served on the Vestry three times. His passion on the Vestry is to improve the ways Saint Stephens connects to people so it can better fulfill its mission of drawing people to Christ.

Andy Lief has been a member for 25 years. Served on vestry numerous times and is currently treasurer. His favorite thing about SSITF is the people and fellowship. In his personal life, Andy has been engaged in affordable housing development and construction for 30 years and plays in a classic rock cover band.
