I am a child of God and celebrate my baptismal birthday as a sending into ministry. I am moving in between two neighborhoods at this time. Currently we live in a cul-de-sac community of about 55 families. COVID has opened a door of opportunity that did not exist for us to gather and nurture neighborliness. I look forward to focusing my activities in this neighborhood. My husband, Chuck, and I have purchased an old farm in a rather rural neighborhood. We have been meeting neighbors (and some of relatives) as we have been working to reclaim the farm. By this time next year we hope to be living there.

I serve in the regional office of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod and am a Deaconess.
