This Sunday in worship, we'll be extending a warm Point Pleasant Presbyterian welcome to our new Church School Coordinator, Sarah Morrison.

Having grown up as the daughter of a pastor, Sarah has been around churches all her life. Sarah's dad, the Rev. Rob Morrison (now retired), was founding pastor of the Cornerstone Presbyterian Church in Jackson, and until a very short time ago served as interim pastor at First Presbyterian Church, Manasquan. Sarah's often helped her mother, Kathe, as she directed Christian Education programs in churches where they've been. (Kathe plans to come along some Sundays and help Sarah with our Church School - although she says this time, Sarah's the boss!)

Sarah has a B.S. in Elementary Education and currently works as a pre-school teacher at the Goddard School on Rt. 70 in Toms River. Prior to that, she worked as director of a before-and-after-school program in Cohoes, New York, taught 3rd grade in an Urban Promise Ministries charter school, served as a kindergarten teaching assistant and as a Head Start preschool head teacher.

As a volunteer, she has been a Youth Group Leader, a Sunday School Teacher and a Girl Scout Leader.

Sarah lives in Jackson, but will be spending a lot of time here in Point Beach - on Sunday mornings, of course, but also on Wednesdays during the day and on various weekday evenings.

Sarah is eager to get to know the congregation, especially Church School families and kids. She'll be working to get the Church School program ramped up and ready for Rally Day on September 8th - so, please contact her and let her know you'd be happy to lend a hand!
