into the slate of Nominees below.

regularly scheduled classes on various theological and spirituality
based topics. I worship at the 8 am service.

I came to St. Paul’s two years ago to worship and serve in a
community that was welcome to all because it is deeply committed
to and active life in Christ. My background includes teaching
career, a commission sales business, and raising two children. I am
a member of the Choir.
