I look at my life as a witness to our hope in the grace and love of God. Life hasn't always been easy, but my underlying faith and the gifts God has given me allow me to overcome the obstacles, us them as opportunities to continue discerning and refining God's call and my response to it. As a teacher I believe that if I can teach people how to ask questions they will forever be learning. I take great joy in the learning and growth of others, and learn best from the students of all ages that I teach.
Worship is the core of our corporate life in a faith community.
The more ways the message of God can be conveyed, the better. Respectful of the Reformed tradition of worship, I would like to be in a congregation that is open to alternative forms of worship. I was instrumental in the creation of a contemporary, liturgical service that continues to thrive. Our purpose was to facilitate an interactive dialogue between worship leadership and congregation. I've also helped another congregation explore and experiment with the possibilities of an alternative service.
