Sue is out of town as this Pastor Blog is launched, and as you may suspect, she’s away helping a family with four adorable children for her to love.  In her stead, dec’s administration and web team have prepared a short bio to help you get to know her better.  Meet Sue Spinney, dec’s Childrens’ Minister.

Sue has been at dec since 1983, and over the years she’s held more babies than most would care to count We’re not sure whether she takes more delight in the babies she’s watched grow up for 20+ years or the brand new babies whose footprints are displayed outside her office door.  She’s a blessing to every one of them

Faithfully she has served dec as Nursery coordinator, then as a key member of the Children’s Ministry Team, and since 2006 as our Children’s Pastor. Not only does she love kids, she is also compassionate and encouraging to their parents. On a weekly basis, Sue coordinates and inspires a small army of Sunday School Teachers and Nursery Workers. She has a passion for missions to children all around the world, and is looking forward to going back to Haiti this summer. Of course, her favorite week of the entire year is VBS, when dec reaches out to the children in our own communities with the love of Christ.

Sue blesses all of us with her thoughtful words, joyful service, and her amazing cooking! Thanks Sue!

For bonus points: can anyone guess why she’s titled her blog Hugs and Bugs?
