Angela Brandt
Administrative Assistant
I have attended and been a part of SEMC my whole life, and have been involved in many different ministries in the Church such as Sunday School teacher, Sunday School superintendent, Youth sponsor, Shine Kids leader, Deacon & Librarian. I love spending time with my husband, Craig, and our 2 teenaged children. I look forward to seeing what God has in store for me as I continue to serve those who walk through SEMC’s doors!
Nordfried Schulze
Custodian
I was born in 1978 in Venezuela. In 1987 my family moved to Paraguay where I married my wife Karoline. In 2002, my wife, our son and I moved to Germany where we were blessed with another son in 2003. In 2006 we decided to move to Canada. As we started our life here over the past years we became a part of SEMC. Today we thank God that He gave us the opportunity to serve him as custodians at SEMC.
My inspiration that I want to share with you is: “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”
