Sandra Gutknecht
Small Group Leader and Mentor
I am an "older" adult, never married, but always open to being "discovered." The Love of God restores and lifts my spirit and gives me strength to face the day. I am blessed by the Young Adults Ministry because of the energy, optimism and crazy abandon for life that I see and experience when I am around the group. I don't know how to blog; I barely know how to use Facebook. I love classical music; I have it on all the time. My favorite artist is Ludevico Einaudi.
