Julie Olson
(she/her)
My husband Bob and I have 3 adult children and 6 practically perfect grandchildren. Happily, they all live in the Twin Cities area. I am a retired public educator and administrator, involved in prison ministry for 30 years. We had been members of two different ECC churches in Minnesota for 46 years but no longer felt at home. We had heard good things about Awaken and came the first Sunday in Advent 2019. We immediately felt such confirmation that it was where God was calling us to be that we have attended ever since.
