KIMBERLEY SHADDICK, OFFICE MANAGER

Life is good! God is good! To say I have been blessed in an understatement. I have been married to my loving husband, Keith of 35 years; we have 3 amazing sons, 3 beautiful granddaughters and 2 wonderful daughter-in-laws. What more could I ask for? My story with St. James & St. John began in 1985 as I did not grow up in this church; I attended Worship services with my soon to be husband Keith, before we were married in 1986 by Rev. Ron Feltmate. Our children attended Sunday School when they were turned 4 and I decided to join the Senior choir in 1997, when I was encouraged by our minister then, Rev. Beverley Brazier. It wasn’t long before I was serving on the newly formed Church Council in 1998, and later Co-ordinating the Sunday School, and writing and directing many dessert theaters. I love volunteering in the church; it has been my passion for many years. In 2019, when our Church Administrator, Janice, resigned after 20+ years of devoted, dedicated, impeccable service as the Church Administrator, I stepped in as the new Office manager; huge shoes to fill I must say. I love working in the office – greeting our members and doing all that I can to ensure the office runs smoothly. Working with Rev. Alice is a pleasure and makes my job that much more enjoyable. I hope to continue in this position for many years and look forward to all the challenges and great things that will happen as we continue to strive to make our church viable now and in the future. I think of this scripture often and believe its truth, “Through God, all things are possible”. Matthew 19:26 Great things are in store for our church and its members; I eagerly await to see what God is going to do and feel blessed to be a part of it.
