Meet our Staff

Like so many churches, we would be nothing without those unheralded individuals whose gift of themselves goes beyond what mere words can ever hope to personify. Our church and our community and our world are better for it. Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!

More coming soon...

A member of First United Methodist Church, Bonnie has been the church administrator for many years having come from the corporate environment of Digital Equipment Corporation and Compaq Computer. She is a member of the FUMC choir, plays in the Handbell Choir, and serves on the Church Council.

Many around FUMC know Bonnie for her "Bear-With-Me Ministry"; a service that shares God's love in the form of a huggable teddy bear. People can ask for a bear to be given to an adult who may not have someone to provide the comfort that only a bear-hug can give. There is no charge for the bears, often given to the people anonymously, bringing joy to those who have received one.
