How did you get connected with Beautiful Day?My second time to WestGate in the bulletin I read about my dream job. Working as an assistant in the Compassion department here at WestGate. I've always have had a heart to get people to go out and volunteer, whether locally or overseas.
My second week on the job in 2007 was my first Beautiful Day experience. I sat back and watched as I saw WestGate invade the community around them with Christ's Love. At that point I knew I was in the right place.
What does your role entail?
A bit of everything. My role is to work alongside Jon Talbert, keep an overview of everything and know the details of everything to connect the pieces that need to be connected.
Tell us what it's like being a part of the Core Team.
Since joining Beautiful Day, being part of the Core Team has always been a highlight of mine each year with each team. Our Core Teams meet for nearly 10 months of the year, so we get to know each other pretty well.
Going forward, what you like to see happen in our community as a result of Beautiful Day?
I'd love to see WestGate people going out throughout the year and/or connecting with one of our projects and continuing to serve there.
Joanne Glen is the Compassion Assistant to Jon Talbert at WestGate Church. Though a native of Half Moon Bay, California, she has lived "in a treehouse in Latvia, a castle in Germany and on a ship in England." She is currently fixated on the music of Mumford and Sons (which, to be fair, is awesome) and is a baroness of the von Glen line from Scotland.
