Laurie is first and foremost very personable. Laurie goes out of her way to make sure people are comfortable, and that their needs are all met. Laurie's Theological knowledge is incredible, and the way she convey's this deep knowledge is both creative, and universally understood. I was personally blessed to have been in her congregation as she left the whole church in awe of her "first person" sermons. People from 9 to 90 were inthralled as we watched Pastor Laurie transform herself into a Bible character. On a personal note, Laurie always welcomed my thoughts and ideas as we worked on the church newsletter. Laurie is the best team player I have ever worked with. I highly recommend Laurie in ANY capacity. Laurie is one of the few that give their all to any project put forth.

      This is in infancy. I envision a place where people can bring their love of handcrafted items. To sell, to help and give hints, to find creative ways to fund their passion, and to fuel their creativity. The Facebook page was started in January. The website and store opened on May 1st. A pinterest page for helps and hints is in the works. This is in infancy. I envision a place where people can bring their love of handcrafted items.

      As churches developed programs or events, I would meet with their development team to provide guidance and resources. If needed I would lead them through the process, highlighting their strengths and suggesting ways to use them in the process.
