About the Author

My name is Koreen Guillermo.  I am an ordained elder in The United Methodist Church.  I am currently serving as the pastor at First United Methodist Church in Deming, New Mexico.  Outside of church I like to spend time with my husband, our kids, our two precious and also adorable grandkids (yes, I am a bit prejudiced), and our four dogs.  I also like reading and crafty things like sewing, quilting, cross-stitching, and crocheting.

 

I hope you enjoy reading these tidbits from my thoughts.  I also hope they bring a little bit of Jesus to brighten your day.
