FAVORITES:
bible verse: Romans 8:38-39 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither
height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to
separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
1 Peter 1:38-39 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or
gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to
you from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.
books: The Bible, anything Henri J.M. Nouwen (especially “Reaching Out”), biographies, and fun beach novels.
vacation spot: any beach, anywhere (sounds like a song!)
hobbies: collecting beach glass, traveling
music: 70’s! (and smooth jazz, soundtrack from “Sabrina”, and most Christian music)
movies: Sabrina, How The Grinch Stole Christmas (the cartoon), Anne of Green Gables, and many others
My favorite thing about First Church is the People!
how I met Jesus: At a backyard neighborhood Bible club. I was 9 yrs old and we had just moved into a new neighborhood. It was the best gift ever!
