Linda Herman

Children's Education

 

Linda is very excited to be our lead Children's Sunday School teacher. She has lots of plans for the kids including using songs, prayers and an award winning children's bible.  She believes that we can all learn from the children.  

 

She started coming to Open Arms MCC in the year 2000, when her partner brought her to a service at the end of the year. She believes it was one of the best things that happened to her after coming out. For Linda, Open Arms MCC is a safe place of acceptance.

 

Linda is the proud mother of 2 and an even prouder grandmother of 1 fabulous grandson.
