Tammie started attending Celebration several years ago thanks to "a total God thing" and hasn't left the building since.  On Sunday morning you'll find her giving the announcements on stage, drinking lots of coffee and making sure everyone has an enjoyable worship experience.  Tammie is your go-to girl for all things office related including scheduling time with Matt or using the building.
