About Me

  • About Me: Hi! My name is Jenna and I'm an Episcopalian that attends a Church of Christ University (it's not bad; I get to learn a lot of a capella songs) and this is the place to read my "adventures" of being an Episcochick. I'm a senior Ministry with Children and Families major. In the fall of 2005, I studied abroad with ACU's program in Oxford, England. I graduated from Gladewater High School in 2004 (go bears!) and will graduate from Abilene Christian University in the May of 2008. As well as being a student, I am also an aspirant for Holy Orders in the Diocese of Texas (Episcopal Church).

More About Me

  • Nicknames: Episcochick, the Nun, Jenna-Bird, Pooky (my sister calls me that), Hermione
  • Nationality: American
  • Religion: Anglican/Episcopalian/Christian
  • Heroes: Therese of Lisieux, Bishop Katharine, Mary Magdalene
  • Interests: My interests are singing in the church choir, knitting, serving in God's church (altar guild, lay reading, chalice bearing), reading for enjoyment (when I have time). I also have a passion for liturgy (the words to draw us close to God) and learning and experiencing new things. I love college (and school in general), but have realized that the important things in life are God, love, and relationships and those are the things that really matter. I also enjoy reading the comics, throwing get togethers that won't fit in the living room, and being creative and random. I am also a girl in love.
  • Expertise: As I learned from my developmental psychology class, expertise develops after years and hours of work (and usually occurs during middle adulthood), so I don't think I have any specific expertise now, but one day I hope to have expertise in pastoral care and teaching. Actually, I do have expertise in one area: knitting and walking!
