Interview Questions

1. If you could spend the day with a famous person, who is still alive today, who would it be and why? WOW....I have soo many I would love to lick their brains and learn and get "wise counsel".....do I have to narrow it to one??? Let's see....Rita Vernoy, Laura Bush, Jackie McCobb, hmmmm......They alll have a story of where they got to today, and such wisdom. I want them to tell me how they were/are so dedicated in the face of adversity. I iknow they all love the Lord and that is their hope, but there is so much more........

Giving up all I feel or know I am entitled to, without hesitation for peace and to show the love of the Saviour.




3. Do you have a hobby or a favorite way to unwind? If so, tell us how you got started in it.

Banquets and teas....just to make special times for others (mostly women)...even wedding receptions.

Usually to unwind, I telephone friends or blog!!






4. Name an adventure you would love to do or go on.

I would love to go to Israel (truly not possible right now in the midst of wars around the region)...jsut to walk where my Saviour lived, walked and taught......I believe it would be so humbling!!






5. Name three things you do to encourage others.

Make phone calls, send cards, prepare a meal for them (or a service they do not expect)


6. Describe your church building, your pastor, and your pastor's wife.

Small lapsided white building, with an entry to the sanctuary. Another entry door is to a hallway that houses the school. It lies directly under the roof area that supports a steeple. The plants could use some work, as we do not have a gardner/custodian, and they see alot of workout from the schoolkids. The interior of the sanctuary is a deep forest green carpet, pew seats and the choir chairs. The walls are white with purple/green muted valances and blinds on the windows. The baptistry is to the back of the pulpit and stage area. It is framed with decorative white wood, and recessed with a brown wooden cross on the back wall of it, with blue color depicting the water lower in the square. A piano is to the left of the stage, and a seldom used organ to the right. We have suspended microphones as well as stationary/wireless ones situated near the piano. The building has Pastor's office situated just inside the foyer to the right , with the nursery (infant) to the left and a restroom. We have an office and three classrooms off the steeple hall along with the lunchroom/teen room, and the right hall has four classrooms. The average class seats 10-15 .

Our Pastor is 37 years of age, about 5'10" (or so) with dark brown hair and blue eyes. He is a compassionate man who weeps for lost souls and for his place standing and preaching the Word before a Holy God. He is the father of four children aged 2-9. He has been marrried to Ms. Dina for 10 years. He loves expository preaching, but does not shy away from topical preaching (tithing, etc.). He is not prideful, as he often exposes his weaknesses and sheds tears over his sin before the Lord.

Ms. Dina is our Pastor's wife. She is about 5'4" tall, with dark hair (I would call it soft black) and dark eyes. She loves the Lord and leads the ladies. She does not shy away from speaking to other ladies (banquets, luncheons) at other churches, either. She is a great Mom.
She stays in the Word, and encourages women in the church. You will find her before every service greeting others, shaking hands, and giving hugs.
