- What is your favorite memory from St. Paul’s? Walking downtown during the Christmas season and wrapping scarves around light posts to help our neighbors stay warm. I loved how everyone was filled with such joy as we served our community together. There is an authentic and deep love for our neighbors as St. Paul’s. It’s real and it’s beautiful.
- What is the best movie/tv show you have seen recently? I enjoy classic movies. My favorite movie is Gone with the Wind, but I will always stop the television to watch Tombstone or Speed. Television favorites include: I Love Lucy, the Golden Girls, Friends, Law & Order: SVU, The Office…anything that makes me think or laugh out loud.
- What is your earliest fond memory of serving in the church? I was born and raised in the United Methodist Church. I can remember helping my Sunday School teachers, helping in the kitchen during our monthly chili dinners, caring for children in the nursery, and cleaning up bulletins after Sunday services. I even remember sneaking back in to the sanctuary to stand behind the pulpit and read scripture when no one was around.

- What is your dream for the future of St. Paul’s? To live into the fullness of God’s call for us at Shawnee St. Paul’s: to shine the light of Christ to all we meet, to make a difference in the lives of those around us, to share God’s love in transformative ways, to be the church and live out our prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness. I’m excited to see how God can work in us to build relationships with our neighbors, those who are unchurched, and those who are without a church home.

Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below – indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
