Karen Shields
(Secretary)
I was raised in a Christian home. Accepted Jesus as my personal Savior at an early age. Rededicated my life to God in my early 20's. I am married to Bill- We have a blended family. I have 3 daughters and Bill has 2 sons and 1 daughter. we have 7 grandchildren. we LOVE the LORD and love worshipping as a family. I work with children's group in our local church on Wednesday nights. I love God and doing HIS work! My heart burst with love for my LORD & SAVIOR and i am so thankful for HIS love and blessings. Things i have learned thru out the years: it takes 3 to make a marriage work; God, your spouse, and you- in that order. In your darkest, hardest moments- you are not alone if you have God as your Lord and Savior. Listen to your heart and always follow God's guidance. Its Not too late to turn to the Lord- He is at the door- knocking- we only must open the door and let HIM in
