I am a mother to four active teens/adults. I volunteer as the lead children's ministry coordinator at a non-denominational christian church, volunteer as an infirmary assistant and counselor at a christian camp during the summer, write the curriculum for Vacation Bible School each year, and direct a special needs camp.
