CHURCH NEWS
New Members Join! Meet Terry, Susie and Stacy.
Next week meet Sarah, Shannon, Sharon and granddaughter McKenzie!
Terry Meier and Susie Rodriguez
Terry grew up in Tucson, AZ where he became a Presbyterian at St. Marks Presbyterian Church. He joined the Navy and after that he met Susie and they were married at 1st Presbyterian Church in Arlington, VA. Terry works as a military contractor at MacDill, and he loves to swim and bike ride. Both Terry and Susie are fans of the Washington Nationals baseball team and still have ties back in DC, but love it here in Tampa.
Susie grew up in Marietta Georgia but considers herself from Washington DC. She and her husband Terry Meier have been in Tampa for 9 years. They have two boys, one is 21 and in college and Beck is a sophomore here in high school. Susie works at Bayshore Baptist Church, she likes reading and cooking, and is glad to be here at Hyde Park.
Stacy Wallace
Stacy grew up smelling cereal every morning in Battle Creek, Michigan. She and her sister came to Florida every year to see her grandparents and a Disney World vacation; one reason she is such a Disney princess fan! She eventually moved to Florida where she met and married Marc Wallace, who introduced her to Bruce and Ann Orand. They became fast friends and fellow jeep mudders, and now all are hard-working members of HPPC!
Tune in next week to get to know Sarah Dann, Sharon Dann, and Sharon Smith with granddaughter McKenzie. McKenzie will join once a Confirmation Class is formed next year.
