Ashlee White here. I've been married to my husband Mark for 12 years. We have no children, but do have our 13 year old German Shepherd mix, Reb. I'm an executive assistant at Grace Fellowship, providing administrative support to Tom Oyler and Matt Murphy. I was raised in church and have known Jesus as long as I can remember. I have known Him better during certain seasons of life and have strayed from Him in others. Mark and I have walked through a lot in our years together (infertility, adultery, drug addiction, death, and cancer). I feel at times that my current closeness with Christ has come out of necessity. I have HAD to lean on and press into Him. I can't imagining surviving some of the things I've walked through without Him. During this study, I would like to dig deeper and press further in because I want to, not because I have to. I want to know Jesus in a new and different way.
Some fun facts about me:
1. I can identify most classic Ford Mustangs by year just by looking at them.
2. I take and submit pictures for findagrave.com.

Hi! I am Emily Webb, the Office Coordinator of GFC!
I have worked at GFC for almost 10 years (Feb 8) and am married to Jonathan Webb. My sister in law is Sarah Hackney. She used to work in the preschool ministry here at GFC and is a long time member. She and my husband Jonathan are fraternal twins. We do not have children but we do own an 11 year old pug named Phoebe who is our child. She means the world to us!
I am a professional flutist and play in a flute quartet called Cambia Flute Ensemble. We play for different occasions (Biltmore, weddings, parties, etc.) in the surrounding areas and will put on concerts every now and then. I have also played in each of the symphony orchestras in the area.
I am very excited to be a part of this group as I have never read through the entire Bible. It has been a goal of mine for a long time but I have never had the motivation to do so until now. I am looking froward to meeting new women that have the same passion to learn more about the Word. I also am looking forward to learning with others while having some accountability on this journey.

Hi. I'm Michelle McGowan. I am married to Jud. We have three grown children and three
wonderful grandsons ages 19 months, 3 and 5 years old. I'm looking forward to reading through
the Bible this year especially in a group format. Hopefully, we can encourage and motivate each other.
I am looking forward to meeting everyone!

Hi. My name is Donita Presnell. I have been married to my husband, Jeff for 17 years. We have two daughters. Bree is 13, and Ally is 10. They are both very involved in sports, specifically travel softball. I work full time as a pharmacist at an independent pharmacy in Kingsport. Between work and the girls, I stay very busy.
I grew up in church, and was saved and baptized at an early age. I feel my busy life makes it hard for me to read and study the Bible as much as I would like to. I think that being in this group will help me to be more disciplined. Also, it has always been a goal of mine to read through the entire Bible.
We have been attending GFC for over a year now, but I have not joined any groups yet. I am looking forward to meeting new people in this group, and learning and growing together.

Hi, I am Dawn Cole. I am married to Jerry. We have three grown children. Two of them are married. None of them live here in town. But I'm going to become a grandmother this summer!
I haven't read through the Bible since Grace Fellowship read through the Bible several years ago, so I thought it was time.

Donna Pearce, married for 40 years to Art, mother of 3 (2 local, one in Texas), grandmother to 2 (1 boy, 1 girl, also local - thank goodness. Having fun with them is such a joy.) I live in Kingsport, direct a regional government program for recruiting senior adults to volunteer for non-profit agencies. We attended GFC back during the Virginia Street days (1987-93), and I was on staff as a secretary first, then director of children's ministries after we moved to the Greenwood Drive site. Moved out of state for 21 years, thrilled beyond words when God opened the doors for us to move back here in 2014. I have read through the Bible twice, but it's time to do this again. Looking forward to this journey with you!

Hi I’m Liz Brunswick I have lived in Johnson City for about a year and a half now and we moved from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania for my husband job. I am a Career and Life Coach and love helping woman discover their true passions and callings in life.
I have been a part of studies before but never at Grace. We have been attending for about a year or more and I work in the Source and assist with introducing Grace.
I have a daughter who is 6 and in first grade and I have been married to my amazing husband for almost 9 years.
I love to read and I am really looking forward to the study. I have done something like this without specific study guides or questions so it should be interesting.

Hi! I'm Leslie Knapp. My husband, Paul, and I have been at GFC for almost 20 years. I have two grown children and became a grandma 8 months ago to a sweet little boy. I'm looking forward to reading through the Bible in this format. I've done this one other time, many years ago. It was structured with 3 hours of study and a 3 hour group meeting every week. And while my children were very young, and it was a challenge to get it all done each week, it is to this day the best gift I've ever given myself. I'm at a different season in life, and it will be interesting to see what God has planned through the reading and connecting.

Hi All!
My name is Anna Hampton and I'm married to Jim. We have 5 children, 2 daughter in laws, and 2 grandchildren on the way. One due Feb 11 and the other in September. I made a commitment in my teen years to read God's Word daily and have just continued to read it, in its entirety, over and over again throughout my life. This year, I am looking so forward to reading it with all of you and hearing your insights into God's word. It is good to be encouraged! I have found God's Word to be my sustenance for life and reading and meditating upon His Word has transformed my life. I always discover new insights and His Word convicts, challenges and affirms me. God is so good!
-Anna
