Remembering Julie Kelsey

It is with great sadness that we shared that Ventana School's longtime kindergarten teacher, Julie Kelsey, passed away at her home earlier this month. Julie worked at Ventana for thirteen years and was a beloved teacher, colleauge, and friend to many in this community. She went on a medical leave earlier this year after being diagnosed with cancer. Her services were held this week and Rev. Claire, who provided pastoral care to Julie and her family in her final weeks, was invited to speak on behalf of the community. You can learn more about Julie's work in this lovely NBC video about a Ventana School project from over a decade ago. Julie has been on our prayer list for many months and we continue to hold her and her family in the light and love of Christ.
