I came to New Hope in 1965 and began teaching Sunday school classes and bible studies in 1967. I am currently involved in the ministries of: Bible teaching, home group leading, pastoral visitation, missions, evangelism, and serve as a member of our elder board. It is my desire to build up in the faith those who are in Christ, to encourage those who experience pain and suffering in their lives and to endeavor to keep the unity of joy and fellowship at New Hope.

I enjoy playing the piano, putting in the garden and doing crossword puzzles. My favorite Bible verse is Philippians 4:4 - “Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice.”
