English Ministry News and Notes 9-15-13


  • We again welcome Becca Cramer! She will be sharing God’s words with us today, next Sunday, and again in November! Becca has served as the Christian Education Director and Youth Minister at several United Methodist Churches. Most recently, she served as the Associate Pastor at the First United Methodist Church of Loomis. Becca is taking a year off of pastoral ministry to spend additional time in discernment about with which vocation God is calling her to use her gifts and passions. In her free time, Becca is an avid hiker and karaoke singer. She can often be found reading a novel while cuddling her cat.
