Gary Hesse Personal Web Site - Interests
My interests (outside of my work as the Web designer of the Wenatchee World) are unevenly divided between family (meet them here), church, theater, and community service. I've listed details of many of these involvements below. (Click on a subject to view more details on that particular area of interest.)
Church Service|
Elder, Light in the Valley Community Church |
2006 - present |
|
Church leadership and instruction |
|
|
I deeply desire to touch the lives of others around me in a meaningful way. The most meaningful way I can do so is to help them experience the reality of God's love for them. My leadership role in the church gives me a opportunity to help create a humble, loving church family where we can all move together in that common direction. It's my hope that Light in the Valley Community Church will grow to be a place where its people transform the Leavenworth area one person at a time with acts of simple yet profound acts of God-directed love. |
