Penny is a retired school teacher and has been serving as our Kid's Ministry Director for several years. She has been married to John since 1975 and has two children and 4 grandchildren. In addition to teaching, Penny prepares bookwork for the family business. Penny and John are taking advantage of the opportunity to travel while their health, energy and finances allow them to. Being a mom (grandma and teacher) is the BEST and hardest job there is in Penny's opinion. The responsibility feels daunting and prayer is the only way to make it through parenting and all work with the precious responsibility of kids. Penny's life verse is, "Rejoice in the Lord always, again I will say, REJOICE! Let all men know your reasonableness(gentleness). The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious for anything but in everything by prayer and supplication, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. " Philippians 4:6-8
