Weekend Snapshot - September 7
Hey Everyone,
We are so excited to have Andrea Moore starting on staff at Northgate this Monday, the 9th, as our Counseling & Care Director! She is going to do an amazing job and bring so much to the church and the team in this role. I wanted you to get to know her a little bit better, so here is a short interview that I did with her.
JK: Tell us about yourself and your family.
AM: I am married to my husband Larry and we have three kids, Lily, Lawrence and Maverick. I come from a large Italian family and Larry is from western Pennsylvania so we are a Steelers vs Bills family. We spend a lot of time with family and a lot of time watching our kids play sports. I am an introverted extrovert, an ambivert! I love to be at home with my family. I love music and my favorite food is pasta. And tacos.
JK: What do you love about Northgate?
AM: Northgate is the real deal as far as churches go! The sense of belonging and warmth is tangible and it feels like a place you want to keep coming back to. Northgate is full of life, it is vital and brimming over with the presence of God which is seen and felt week after week.
JK: What are you most excited about for this next chapter?
AM: I’m excited to be able to attend to the emotional and spiritual needs of the congregation and I hope to walk with folks through their happiest and darkest times and everything in between. Ultimately I am excited to connect people to the heart of God and point them to His son with every interaction.
JK: What do you like to do for fun?
AM: I could spend hours in coffee shops and Barnes & Noble. I love reading and shopping for shoes. I also love the beach and staying fit through bike riding and HIIT workouts. Music makes me happy and my dream is to sing with Celine Dion. It could happen?
JK: If you had to fight Mike Tyson at any age of his life, and got one million dollars for each year old he was if you won the fight, what age would you choose?
AM: I think I would choose to fight him at his age right now…58 yrs old. And I’d use my words. We’ll be hugging by the time I’m done!
See you this weekend!
