My name is Sarah Tunall and I am serving as the
Administrative Ministry Assistant. I moved temporarily permanently to
Grand Junction in June, 2009 after graduating from Whitworth University in
Spokane, Washington with a degree in Speech Communications and a minor in
Theology.
During the summer of 2008 I served as a Summer Intern
for the Youth Ministry here at First Pres. That summer I found a church
family that cared for each other and lived out their mission of following
Christ and sharing His word. It was such an amazing summer that I decided
to return as an Intern for the 2009 summer! My plan was to go to Wesley
Theological Seminary that fall, however, God had a different plan in mind.
Throughout the 2009 summer I felt a nudging by God to stay in Grand Junction
for a bit, and not go to seminary right away. This call to stay at First
Presbyterian Church has opened up an opportunity to be part of this amazing
community.
As the Administrative Ministry Assistant, I am excited
to dapple in the different areas of ministry and to gain experience in the
“administrative side” of ministry. Also, I am passionate about people of
all ages, and love to hear what God is doing in the lives of all His
children. The opportunity to serve at First Pres as a staff member and
volunteer in the Youth Ministry has allowed me to develop relationships with
the larger church body, and I am excited to continue to share life with the
people of the church. |
