Mary Margaret Willbanks

I was born in Denver, Colorado while my parents were in seminary at Illiff Seminary.  After Daddy graduated, we began the itinerary ministry in Louisiana and Indiana.  I lived in 13 different cities, some more than once and in two different states.  I attended 7 different schools from 1st through the receiving of my Masters Degree, some of them more than once!  I loved being a minister's daughter and still consider it a wonderful thing to have "family" wherever my family served the Methodist and United Methodist Church!

My work experience is varies and has covered a lot of physical miles as well.  I have worked in church and business offices as secretaries and assistants.  I worked in businesses where I spent money and in others where I counted it.  I have assisted pastors and parents.  I have taught children and adults.  I have worked in this country and in Scotland.  I have loved all my working opportunities, some just a little more than others!

My church work includes volunteer and paid positions.  At this point in my life I am lucky to be in a paid position at Anderson First United Methodist Church.  I am blessed to be working with children from birth to age 12.  My primary goal is to act as a facilitator for them as they grow in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man!  I work with other staff and church members to create, strengthen and enrich the families of our church.  I love being able to accept my call from God to further His Kingdom here in Anderson, Indiana!

Speaking of families, mine consists of my mother - Ruth, and my father - Bob, one brother - Bobby, sister-in-law Susan, niece Kaitlin and one Australian Blue Healer named Cassie.  If the truth be known, I have many "nieces and nephews" because my "faith family" is huge!  I enjoy spending time with my extended family and friends while we journey through life.
