Both Sandy Clarke and Judy Nichols are also employed at Noah’s Ark Children’s Center and bless our children with their energy, patience, tenderness, and joyous songs each Sunday morning as our children begin to learn of God’s great love for them!  Here’s what Sandy & Judy have to say about themselves:

Sandy My husband Scott (whom I love and adore) & I have 3 children–Daniel (21), Katelyn (11), and Jacob (7).  We are very proud of them and from oldest to youngest, they keep us very busy.  Although we have been attending First UMC for just over a year, we have felt like part of this Christian family from the beginning.  I’ve been employed at Noah’s Ark for 8 years and love it!  I feel my calling is spending quality time with children.  In my spare time, between helping with homework, making meals, and running the kids to friends or sports, I like spending it laughing and talking.  We love to camp as a family and enjoy swimming, playing indoor/outdoor games and yes, s’mores!

Judy I’m a proud mother of three wonderful children, a daughter and son at OHS, and a daughter earning her Master’s degree at The Ohio State University.  I have a heartfelt passion for FUMC, as it has been my home church since birth.  My husband, Bill, & I taught the 4-5 year old Sunday school class for three years and were the first Family Ministry Team.  With the arrival of the VanderMolen twins, I was blessed to be their caregiver for their first three years.  I am co-coordinator for the UMW’s Social Action committee.  Employed mornings at Advanced Drainage, I also work part-time for Noah’s Ark (joyfully rewarding & fulfilling) and for a local caterer.  I enjoy reading, gardening, crafts (especially card making and paper crafts), UMW’s Joyful Beginnings and catching up with friends

We are excited to be your Purposeful Nursery leaders and to be given the opportunity to assist you in introducing our Lord to your children.  We look forward to meeting you and your young children.  God Bless!
