We welcome our new

Associate Pastor,Cheryl Jones

Greetings

in the Name

of Our

Risen Lord

and Savior Jesus Christ,

It is with great joy that I come to you

today. This month is the beginning of

our annual conference year and the

beginning of my time in service and

fellowship with you. I am excited to be

coming on board as your new Associate

Pastor and in becoming acquainted with

each of you.

Earlier this month my husband, Odis,

was co-chair of a family reunion

gathering for his mothers side of the

family. What a great time we had. Most

of us knew one another, many of us

hadnt seen one another in some time.

There was a small contingency of family

members who we had to become

acquainted with. These were persons

who were unknown prior to this time or

newly married into the family, yet we

are all family. That is how I see each of

you. We have not yet met but I see all ofus as members in the family of God.

Now we just need to become ac-

quainted.

My husband, Odis, and I have been

married for 25 years. We dont have any

children but there are plenty of them in

our life. He is originally from Tulsa,

OK and I am from Kansas City, MO. My

educational background includes a

Bachelors degree from Lincoln Univer-sity and a Masters degree from Ohio

State; both in Speech Pathology. In May,

2011, I completed my Maser of Divinity

degree from Perkins School of Theol-

ogy/SMU. I am a Provisional Elder on

track for ordination in 2013 in the North

Texas Conference.

Some other little things about me: I

love to read. I recently completed

Walking the Labyrinth as a Spiritual

Direction. I am currently reading,

Singing the Lords Song in a Strange

Land by Rev. Joseph Lowery. I love

reading anything that Rev. Max Lucado

writes and mysteries such as the ones by

Agatha Christie and Mary Higgins

Clark. I like to bowl and I play a little

tennis. However, I prefer watching

professional sports. Football is my

favorite (esp. Kansas City Chiefs),

basketball at playoff time, track and

field and tennis. I love playing games

and I am known for stomping visitors
