Dana shares the following about herself…
“I am over the moon about the opportunity to join your community as the Family Ministry Director. To me it is the greatest honor to share in the mystery, wonder, and quirkiness of the world with children and youth; it is my most joyous spiritual practice. We are blessed with a faith tradition that gifts families with the love and support to grow through questioning and serving this world. I look forward to diving into this adventure with all of you in a few months.“
