Married to
Larry Job since 1983, I have a son Thomas currently living in Denver
Colorado and a daughter Mary a junior at Wayne State University. We
have resided in Brighton since 1983. When I’m not in the office you
might find me riding my motorcycle, weaving, reading, strolling
through town or enjoying a great meal prepared by my husband.
I graduated from the
University of Detroit/Mercy earning a BS in Health Services and worked
as a Dental Hygienist for 15 years. I joined the staff here at First
Church in July of 2000 and in April of 2001 I graduated from Sacred
Heart Seminary receiving a Master of Arts degree in Pastoral Studies.
As part of my seminary experience I did an internship at Angela
Hospice in Livonia, doing spiritual care with the clients and their
families. I attend Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary in
Evanston IL., taking courses related to spiritual formation, United
Methodist Studies and pastoral care. I was commissioned a
probationary deacon on May 20, 2007 and will continue working toward
full ordination during the next three years.
Here at First
Church my duties are varied and include pastoral care, new member
classes, baptism orientation, the welcome team, leading adult
formation classes, women’s studies and the yearly women’s retreat.
Assisting with the training and renewal of our various lay ministries
as well as helping individuals identify their spiritual gifts and use
them in service to this church and the world. I especially enjoy
talking to people about their relationship with God and helping them
discover new avenues to deepen and expand that relationship. |
