    Amanda is the Receptionist and Community
    Life Administrative Assistant of the Orchard.
    She is a native of Missouri but has called
    Tennessee, Washington, and Georgia her
    home as well. She and her husband of
    almost eight years, Scott, now call
    Tupelo home. They have been here for
    two and a half years now. For the last
    6 years they have spoiled a miniature
    beagle Daisy Mae. She is the baby of the
    family. Amanda and Scott love to travel
    but when they are at home they love to
    hang out with family and friends.

     In the interim, Merissa Rambo will be working
     to connect you to serving opportunities.  Many
     of you know Merissa - she leads worship in our
     8:30 a.m. Origins Service, she previously
     served an interim position in Small Group's
     ministry while a staff member was sick, and
     she is also Will, our Growing Deep Pastor's
     wife.
     Merissa has served with excellence while
     Lynnie was on sick leave and will continue
     in that position on an interim basis until
     a permanent staff person is hired.
     Please pray for Merissa as she helps us during
     this transition period and do not hesitate to
     let Merissa know if she can help you help
     others in any way!
