A Welcome From Our New Office Manager

My name is Kim Pyatt-Bostock and I am the new Office Manager.  I am originally from Salem, MO.  I have my Master’s Degree in Management and my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Sociology, as well as a degree as a Medical Assistant.  My husband Josh and I have two children, Connor who is 9, and Emily who is 4. In my free time I enjoy outdoor activities with my family, including camping and floating.  My husband is the Cubmaster of the Cub Scout pack in the church (Pack 83) and during the school year we stay very active with them.  I also enjoy refinishing and repurposing old, outdated furniture into new, unique pieces which I give away as gifts and on occasion have sold.

I look forward to meeting everyone in the church and working with you in the future!

Meet Our Office Temp

The church has employed a temporary person with basic secretarial skills. Her name is Rosalind Breske, however, she goes by Rose. Rose is hired on a “Temp” basis until we find an individual to fill Marie Wilson’s open position.

Rose was raised in the State of Wisconsin. She is a wife and mother of two. Prior to living in Rolla, Rose travelled from the US to Australia and then to New Zealand. She describes those moves as “an incredible journey for our family.

Rose has worked in a variety of professions from banking, delivery of mail to management and accounting. She has a pleasant and friendly personality. Rose has been familiarized with our office procedures and is able to take over those duties once Marie is gone and until a part-time person is hired. Please offer her a friendly welcome.
