My faith story: My spiritual pilgrimage started at the age of 9 when I was baptized in the Baptist church. My faith journey continued for many years but I did not become completely immersed in my relationship with my Lord until 15 years ago. After going to seminary I now feel called to be in ministry full time.

What brought me to UCUMC: My husband Steve’s job change to the Orlando area and shopping for a new church home is what brought us to try UCUMC initially; but the friendly smiles and warm welcome we received made us want to stay. We have been here 14 years.

What I like most about my ministry here: The people I get to meet and spend time with on a daily basis. I get to see how their lives are changed through serving.

What's my greatest challenge: Not being able to spend more time with more people.

What's in your iPod: The Meaning of Prayer and contemporary Christian music.

What do I like most to do on my day off: Play with my grandchildren, read and go to the beach.

Three words I'd use to describe yourself: People-person, listener and helper

Family info: Married to Steve Howard; 3 stepchildren with 4 grandchildren
