Melodee has attended Good Sam since January 2023, and is enjoying the friendships as well as the rich liturgical expressions of faith she has found here. She began her role here at Good Sam in August 2023.
Melodee recently completed a two-year program with Renovaré Institute for Christian Spiritual Formation. She is working on the completion of her final project, crafting a series of retreat guide for women looking to deepen their connection with God through solitude and silence. She finds life in spiritual conversation, learning and practicing habits of spiritual formation and retreat, and reading helpful books about the spiritual journey.

She and her husband Mark have four adult children, two daughter-in-laws, a son-in-law, and a grandaughter. And two incredibly adorable dogs.
