Heidi Wetherald

Church: Garfield Country Church, Fife Lake

Nominated by Michelle of Fife Lake
I must say we are truly blessed to have a Pastor's wife as special as Heidi. Heidi returned "home" to Garfield Country Church about five years ago. She grew up in the very same Church (her father was once Pastor there as well)! Garfield Country Church is small with perhaps 30-40 people attending each week. Heidi has worked hard in partnership with her husband to reach out to our small community and welcome new people into the Church. Heidi also immerses herself in the community by offering piano and voice lessons. She is a very talented young woman! Within the past few years, several new babies have been born into the Church and Heidi, having two small children herself, has worked hard to develop a warm and welcoming Sunday school program for them as they grow up in Christ!
She is a true friend with a big heart always there for you when you need her. My family had only been attending the Church for a couple of years before Pastor Seth and Heidi moved in. I grew up in the Catholic Church but was searching for a closer relationship with Christ. Heidi and I have become quite good friends since we are relatively close in age and her friendship and support have encouraged me to keep growing in that relationship. We have attended Bible studies together and I have learned so much from her own walk with God. I am so happy to say that I now have a renewed outlook on my relationship with the Lord and I am positive that I am not the first person that Heidi has encouraged.
Heidi's love of Christ makes her the lovely person that she is. He truly lives through her and again we are so blessed to have her in our Church family:)
