one of the confirmation class teachers…

Hello! My name is Amy McKinney, and I teach the confirmation-aged kids with Sherry Dean. I taught this age group last year and really enjoyed it, so I’m back for more! We like to hang out on the bean bags; it gives the smaller ones something to look forward to. :-) I am currently a PhD student at Ohio State in Evolution, Ecology, & Organismal Biology. That’s a mouthful, so just think of me as an ecologist. I study pollination, specifically, how invasive honeysuckle shrubs impact pollination of native plants growing nearby. I will graduate spring or summer 2010- woo hoo! It has been a long journey, and I am so glad to have found Advent along the way. The picture below is me with my husband, Seth, in Prague.

Meet your Superintendent

Hello! I am pretty sure we’ve met, but if not, here I am with my 5-month-old. I am usually to be found on Sunday mornings flitting from class to class taking attendance and offering. I am a graduate of Indiana University, where I got a BA in Religious Studies and Filmmaking, neither of which come much in handy in my current career, being a mom (my other boy Will was too much on the go to sit still for this photo).

I have been the Sunday School Superintendent for two years, and I am looking forward to another great Sunday School year.

Rally Day Ice Cream Party

How can you lose with fresh ice cream? Everyone had a blast on Sunday making and eating ice cream. One of the kids informed us that vanilla ice cream is Batman’s favorite flavor.

It was a fun way to kick off the year, and we even learned a little bit about God. Something we hope to do more of each week. I hope you enjoy the pictures!!
