Anna has been a member of Unity Village Chapel since February 2014 and is serving her second term as Board President. After considerable prayer, Anna felt that serving on the Board of Trustees was the next step in her spiritual development. She is currently on her 2nd term of service. She volunteers on the Social Action Ministry Team, Power Point Team and assists with Potlucks and other UVC functions. Her experience as a teacher for middle school and high school has given her skills that make her a valuable asset to the Board of Trustees. She has participated in several classes as well as the Adventures in Spirituality program last fall. “My spiritual practice is ever evolving. Since coming to UVC I have found a spiritual home that helps me feel ‘whole’ not ‘less than.’”
