Elementary Ministry Assistant

Top 3-5 Responsibilities
I serve as the primary internal and external contact for the Elementary Ministry. I plan and execute Elementary Ministry events. I oversee preparing supplies and resources for Elementary weekend services. I oversee the Elementary weekend service check-in team and welcome process as well as weekend scheduling and hospitality for volunteers. I manage and maintain the Elementary Ministry physical spaces.

When and how did the Lord save you?
When I was 7 years old, in a Sunday evening kids service at my church, I responded to an altar call given by our children's minister. My eyes were opened: I was suddenly very aware that I was a sinner in need of a Savior.

When did you come to TVC and what brought you here?
After a move from out of state, we visited The Village in Summer 2017 and were excited to join the local body of believers in Flower Mound.

Book/Movie/TV Show Recommendation and Why
Meet Joe Black - it's a thought-provoking story that makes you think about what is most important in life, and the cinematography is beautiful!

TED Talk Subject & Why
I would give a TED talk about children's literature and the importance of reading aloud to children from a very young age. Reading aloud developmentally appropriate books for each age & stage is extremely beneficial to shape a child's imagination, vocabulary and even sense of fun and well-being. Just think of your favorite teacher - did they read aloud to you?

Childhood Dream Job
I would be Cinderella!

Fictional Character Friend & Why
I would probably be friends with Leslie Knope from Parks and Recreation. She is such a great friend and is always ready for the next adventure. Also, I've always thought it would be fun to celebrate with her as she celebrates everything and everyone so well.

Favorite Hobby
I love to bake and shop for fun!
