What is your favorite thing(s) about Saint John’s? What about Saint John’s inspires or excites you?
One of my favorite things about Saint John’s is the music. Having been a part of it my whole life, I have realized that our church does music incredibly well. The community is also one of my favorite things about our church. Seeing everyone gathered together and talking to each other is always so special to see.
Tell us something about your hobbies, work, family, pets, secret talent.
I work with a non-profit organization and I enjoy service work. I have two cats, Lily and Willow, and one dog, Boetje. I work as a lifeguard and swim instructor year-round, and I have sung in the choir at church for almost my entire life.
What ministries are you involved in?
I am involved with the youth ministry, which includes youth group, and I recently joined the music ministry because I have been involved in music for so long!
What is your favorite Bible verse, hymn, or church season?
My favorite church season is Advent because since I was a little kid I always loved the decorations, the services, the readings, and the community that comes together during Advent and Christmas. My favorite hymn is a classic: O Holy Night. I always sang it as a kid before bed and it continues to be a favorite to me.
