We are pleased to welcome Rev. Dorothy LaPenta as our guest preacher for Palm Sunday on April 2, 2023. Dorothy is a retired minister member of Baltimore Presbytery. She graduated from Princeton Theological Seminary in 2002 after a 23-year career in nursing. She served as a seminary intern at First and Franklin in 2001-2002. She served for thirteen years as pastor of Hope Presbyterian Church in Mitchellville, MD. She is currently the parish associate at Prince of Peace Presbyterian Church in Crofton, MD. She is also a trustee in Baltimore Presbytery. She lives in Odenton, MD with her husband, Mike, who is a palliative care physician.

When she’s not playing with grandchildren, she enjoys reading, music, walking, friends, and staying engaged in ministry.
