The church is called to go out into the world and preach the gospel to every creature, and that is exactly what this group is all about!
Valerie Manring
Church Business Administrator
I am so pleased to join the team at First United Methodist Church. In the last five years I have made some major life changes; becoming single again, making the decision to retire after 45 years, getting married again, moving to Natchitoches, and joining FUMC. When this position was announced in church over a few Sundays, I felt a strong tug. You see, God knew that I would have a hard time going from 100 to zero. Having held Accounting, Human Resources, Sales, Property Management, and Administrative jobs over the course of my career, I felt this part-time position would be a great fit for me.
Between us, Joe and I have 5 children and 5 grandchildren.
We love family gatherings, visiting friends, attending church services,
boating, traveling, and working on projects together.
