William Jenifer

Sexton

Mr. Jenifer became a member of the Trinity United Methodist Church family, and attended services here, prior to becoming the church Sexton. William was previously employed by Georgia Pacific Distribution, where he worked as professional checker, receiver and warehouse-man for five years. Mr. Jenifer's departure, from Georgia Pacific Distribution, was prompted by the announcement of their impending move, from their Landover Maryland location, to a new location in Frederick County Maryland. William's decision to return to Calvert County, and seek work where he resides, has been a win for Trinity. As anyone who attends our services, or any of the numerous other activities within our walls can attest to, Mr. Jennifer's work is second to none.

 

When not at work, William has a number of hobbies that occupy his time. He is a fan of the National Football League's Washington Commanders (Redskins). He enjoys fishing, yard work, shopping, a good book, and having fun with friends. As with all the others who call Trinity UMC home, William prays the congregation can stay positive, grow and do God's will.

 

“The Lord is righteous in all his ways and holy in all his work.”  (Psalm 145)
