Recently, she graduated from the University of Florida with an accounting degree and works for her family’s business helping with accounts payable. She loves attending Hyde Park Presbyterian Church and helping Faith out in the nursery.
Shannon Dann
Shannon is originally from Carrollton, GA and is happy to be a new member. She has spent some time in the Baptist church, but feels very comfortable connecting with such a friendly group of people here at Hyde Park Presbyterian. She has already shared her love of singing with us during worship. In her spare time, Shannon enjoys reading (a love shared by many at HPPC).
Sharon Smith
Sharon’s mother and father were married at HPPC in 1944. Sharon and Cliff were married at HPPC in 1968. Her son was also married at HPPC. She has owned The Potting Shed on MacDill for 50 years this month. Sharon is the guardian of her 10 year old grandchild, Mckenzie.

The 5 Finger Prayer
1- Your thumb is closest to your heart; so pray for those closest to you – your family and friends.
2- The pointer finger is used to give directions. Pray for teachers, coaches, therapists, doctors, first responders.
3- The middle finger is the tallest. Pray for leaders in government, business and the church.
4- The ring finger is the weakest. Pray for the sick, poor, those most in need.
