| Dahana Ortiz, Church Secretary
Email Dahana Ortiz, was born in Yauco, Puerto Rico and has lived in Florida since she was 2 years of age. She has been secretary at Woodbury Presbyterian Church since September of 2006 and enjoys every minute of working in such an amazing environment. She loves the Lord with all her heart and enjoys serving Him. She has had her ups and downs like most, but her goal is to go back to school and major in music and in the near future attend seminary. Recently married to a wonderful husband Roberto, she says life is great and hopes to have lots of kids in the mist of all her goals and ambitions and knows that the Lord has many blessings in store. Life has not turned out the way she thought it would, but she says it has turned out better because it is turning out the way the Lord wants it to. |

| Dr. Maureen (Mo) Haner, Choir Director Email Mo grew up in the beautiful little town of Wellsboro, PA. She graduated from Eastern Baptist College, married and had one daughter, Bevin. (Interestingly enough, Bevin means ‘melodious lady’ in Welsh and she is a gifted music teacher with an MA in guidance counseling.) Mo has spent more than twenty-seven years working with kids of all ages. She has taught English, music and drama, written books, and enjoys studying and teaching. She believes that King David had the right idea about praise and worship and if more people would follow his lead, there would be fewer problems in this world. She has two doctorates – Christian education and Christian clinical counseling. She currently works with troubled teens at the United Methodist Children’s Home in Enterprise, FL. Mo has served in all capacities in the Presbyterian church including deacon, elder, clerk of session, music director, youth director and counselor. She occasionally travels north to West Liberty, Ohio to visit her mother and sister/family and then over to Limerick, Pennsylvania where she spends time with her grandsons Brady, Colby and granddaughter, Kinley. |
