Kathleen Wallace
Kathleen comes to us from the First Presbyterian Church PC USA in Granville, Ohio where she has been a member for almost 29 years. She enjoyed serving as an elder there on both the worship and Christian education committees. Her greatest joy there was leading a group of oral interpretation readers called The Light Readers and organizing and choreographing for the Liturgical Dancers, elementary children from second through seventh grades. Prior to being a Presbyterian she grew up in the Roman Catholic Church in Dayton, Ohio and has sixteen years of Catholic education there. She credits Vatican II and a class in Demythologizing the Bible, at the Marianist University of Dayton, for helping her become a Presbyterian.
In Ohio she was a teacher of English, Composition, and Theatre and has taught at all levels from grade school through college. As a stay-at-home Mom she spent time working with her local Hospice as editor of its quarterly bulletin and coordinating volunteers and their education. She is a certified yoga teacher and, currently in Hendersonville, teaches yoga at Brightwater Yoga Studio, Kenmure Fitness Center, and in her small home studio.
She and her late husband, Richard, have one adult son, Andrew, living in Newark, Ohio. She has been in Hendersonville for five years and volunteers with the Flat Rock Playhouse and is a house docent at the Carl Sandburg home. When time permits, she loves to read and garden. She is ruled by two elder, independent felines.
Kathleen particularly likes the open and affirming nature of First Congregational and this welcoming congregation. She has already taken advantage of some of the educational offerings and looks forward to more.
