"As I work as Parish Associate, I enjoy my conversations with the people I visit and have found their openness to ministry very rewarding. Having been very sick myself in March of 2004, I have experienced the love and meaningful prayers of our congregation. First Presbyterian members exhibit that in their concern for those in need of ministry, and that has been very helpful to me as Parish Associate."
