OUR STAFF
The elders, together with our small group leaders will provide pastoral care and oversight for the church while we search for a new pastor.
One of the favorite things about my job is that I get to see God bless those in need through ALL of you. I am ALWAYS amazed at His timing. His gift of generosity is displayed in so many different shapes, sizes and amounts. I have witnessed Him bless those who have lost almost everything to those who need a little help figuring out how to get their finances in order. The other fun part of my job is to see the expressions of gratitude and surprise on the faces of those that have been blessed by the gift of giving, they are as blown away as I am. As a body it is neat to see how He moves in our hearts and how He is turning us from a church that could loose much to one that continues to move forward for His purposes. I continue to look forward to ALL of the surprises He has for us.
Click, click, click… “There’s no place like home”. Seems like just yesterday, I can almost hear the echoing sound of my red shoes…Toto we’re home! Kansas, at last! Okay, so my shoes weren’t really red and I didn’t really have a dog named toto, nor was I in Kansas but the experience that I had, caused me to identify with Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. I found in the deepest place of my heart a sense of coming home, although I had never been here (the Vineyard) before. Strange as it seemed, like I told Aunty Em…it did really happen! Really it did!!! I discovered myself amidst the Kingdom of God. It was and is and will be the most wonderful and incredible place imaginable. After 18 years of discovery, I am convinced that this Kingdom of God is more than imaginable. I believe that the Kingdom is for real, now and forever-more. It is my joyful and passionate privilege to love, to know and to serve Him now, in the midst of His-story. I hope you will too! I have been hugely blessed with a wonderful husband (and best friend) Craigles along with 5 beautiful children, all of which are my favorite! I hope to meet you someday…maybe sooner than later…I hear the Kingdom of God is at hand.
