JOIN US FOR SUMMER SALADS

Joye McCrea Vedvick is a woman who has been well loved and faithfully sustained by Jesus through both deep joy and profound loss. After losing her husband of 26 years to cancer, she encountered the nearness of Jesus in a way that restored the joy of her salvation and revealed His power to do more than she could ask or imagine, especially in seasons of crushing and hurt, bringing beauty from ashes. 
She is the mom of Gracie and Ellie, and recently remarried to Chris, a widower with the biggest heart. They share a love-filled home with her bonus blessing babies- Lorelai, Evelyn, and Arche, and two goofy golden retrievers, Ollie and Todd.

Debbie Dawson has been a dedicated member of Southside Methodist Church for 15 years. She has been married to her husband, Corey, for 28 years, and together they have three adult sons and one "adopted"  daughter. Debbie is a full-time homemaker and a semi-retired hairstylist who enjoys the beach, traveling, and serving others. 
Raised in a faith-centered family and strongly influenced by time spent with her grandparents, Debbie has developed a deep passion for serving the elderly. She embraces the biblical call to honor and care for older generations, guided by scriptures such as Leviticus 19:32 and 1 Timothy 5:1-2, which emphasize respect, compassion, and meeting the needs of the aged.
