Beth and her husband, Lou live in Ocean Pines with Lou's Dad (Grandpa Lou), Gertie (a mysterious Corgi/Shepherd mix), and Mabel (a rambunctious one-eyed Pug).  After enjoying 30+ years in the mortgage banking industry, Beth became Lou's apprentice while he built their home on the St. Martin River.  They have six amazing grown kids, eight beautiful grandkids, and an ever growing number of grand-dogs and cats.  They relish the opportunities to share Eastern Shore life with their family and friends.

Beth has a passion for studying Scripture, knitting, reading, learning to sew and seeing grace with new eyes.  She and Lou are extraordinarily grateful for each chapter of their lives - even the ones that stretched them beyond their strength.  "Come to me all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest." ~ Matthew 11:28.

I have lived almost my entire life in Ocean City.  I grew up in this church.  My mother, who was one of the oldest members when she passed away in 2014, made sure that as a child I attended Sunday School and church every week.  While I very much enjoyed the social aspects, I found Sunday School lessons and church extremely boring.  Needless to say, I stopped attending altogether when no longer required.

There were decades when I did not attend any church at all.  In 2020 my daughter, Stephanie passed away unexpectedly, leaving me devastated.  I met Pastor Dan for the very first time at Stephanie's funeral because I felt that a Pastor should be there, and didn't know who else to call.  With my only child now gone, along with most of my family, I was truly in a bad place.

I later told Pastor Dan that I felt like a lost soul, and he promised to help me get un-lost.  I started attending Sunday School and church regularly, and it has made a huge difference in my life.  I now have a family again, a church family, with some of my mother's dearest friends now my friends!

I decided to put my trust in the Lord because nothing else seem to be working.  He responded by graciously carrying me through the past there years and continues to do so!  Although I still suffer pain and grief every day, I am now a much stronger person that I ever was.  I look forward to using my new strength to serve others.
