I knew it was probably going to happen - but not to this extent.

I forgot Kris.

Kris was (and still is) the worship leader at Legacy Church where I started this crazy ride of ministry as an intern. While I was scrubbing toilets, changing ceiling tile, and mopping floors - she sat in an air-conditioned office and picked out songs. It was witnessing this when I knew that I wanted to do ministry all my life.

Technically, we were on staff together - never worked together. I was ears-deep in youth ministry, she was ears-deep in worship. I was little people.

Kris Koenigsberg

Pros: Lots could be listed here….but I’ll hit the highlights….husband will show up in random places and unexpectedly and unknowingly buy your lunch/dinner - no matter how large the party, she’s got one drop-dead gorgeous daughter (which wierd for me to say seeing that she was like 8 when I last saw her), her story of her son needs to be made into a movie…or at least a Simpson episode, we need a top shelf worship leader on this staff - doesn’t get any better than Kris. Creative, fun, blah, blah, blah - you get the picture.

Cons: She’s so dang good at so many things, it’s hard to pick out cons. But….I’ll try! Blonde. And there’s nothing wrong with that except all church staffs should be careful of the blonde load they are carrying. She also has 14 sisters who all look like they’ve walked out of a Scandinavian Super Model catalog. Minnesotan…or Minnesotean or however you spell it…which means she has moments when she talks funny. Imagine a Texan/Minnesotan accent - that’s Kris.
