Ministry Spotlight
Ann & Brent Melkesian-Children's Ministry Assistants

 Melkesian 17Sunday morning Training Hour has a team of volunteers who supports Children’s Ministry through a variety of activities during the Training Hour. This month we are pleased to introduce to you one of these faithful women, Ann Melkesian.

Ann along with her husband Brent have served in Children’s Ministry for two of the five years they have attended FBC.  “I love watching these kids grow up. My particular joy is listening to our young musicians play during offertory time.” She and Brent also host the Burrow Small Group in their home every other week.

With a Bachelor of Music in vocal performance, Ann teaches private voice lessons now. Using her vocal giftedness for God’s glory, she was a soloist and choir member for about 20 years in her previous church. While there, she also worked in Drama-Theatre at VBS every year. Ann was blessed to be a stay-at-home mom while her three daughters were young. When her children were older, she worked part time as a Quality Assurance assistant in her husband's aerospace machining business. Ann has also served as a leader in Bible Study Fellowship and still attends the Wednesday morning study held at our church each week. Although there are many activities she enjoys, being with her family is number one! They love to cook together, playing games, camping with friends, going to the beach, swimming, listening to classical music, and singing of course!

It was in 3rd grade Sunday school and through the loving guidance of her sister and great aunt that Ann came to a saving faith in Christ. The Scripture that has provided correct thinking and direction in Christian living reminds her to "Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." ~Philippians 4:4-7
