I'm a "lapsed" Baptist, and eternally grateful to God & Old First pastor emerita Geneva Butz who led me to this, my chosen family and especially quixotic, unique congregation.

I grew up in the UCC because my father was a UCC pastor. I am a married mother of 2 teenage daughters and I work at Temple University as a nurse practitioner. I love music, sports, and animals.

I have spent my life living a faith/love of God that I have never fully understood and that is filled with as many questions as certainties. It is in the questions and uncertainties that my faith finds its energy and vitality.

I grew up in the UCC church, in my hometown that has more cows than people! I love the outdoors and being by the water. I'm all about rock concerts, yoga, and dogs!

A resident of Philadelphia since 2009; I graduated from La Salle University with a BA in Religious Studies. I aspire to be a military chaplain, but for now I work  Old First and at a nearby coffee shop. On Fridays, you can find me out in the city for fellowship. Join Us and Be Merry!

I chase a toddler, because it's fun. I work for you, because it's my calling. I go to church, because it helps me be a better person.

Retired registered nurse, I enjoy visiting Old First shut in's and family/friends. Enjoy gardening but a little slow now (hard to get up once down). Love traveling, will go just about anywhere with or without a companion. Always open to changes.

I was born and raised a Catholic, but married into UCC. It has certainly been an adjustment, but a worthwhile one.
