Meet our Religious Education Coordinator, Tammy Mills
A message from Tammy--
I love working with the Religious Education team at Oaklandon UU! It is truly a gift to build upon such a strong foundation created by years of consistent and strong programming. A bit about me-- I graduated, a long time ago, with an education degree from Ball State. Shortly after graduation I began the ordination process for the United Methodist Church. I served several Indiana churches and managed to get my Master of Divinity from Anderson University. During my 10 years in the United Methodist ministry I worked with my churches to develop exciting and enriching educational programming. I also directed many children and youth summer camps. Personally, my partner and I have been together for 11 wonderful years. We have three awesome kids -- Grace, Maddie, and Wesley. Currently I am a Behavior Mentor at Harrison Hill Elementary in the Metropolitan School District of Lawrence Township. Prior to this position, I taught in different capacities for the last five years. My passion for the church is to create a sacred space where children and adults can explore and grow in their spiritual journey and a sacred place where that growth and exploration is affirmed. I invite you to come check us out! --Tammy Below: R.E. kids illustrated the words to one of the hymns in our hymnal. We then projected the pictures while the congregation sang the hymn!
