Catherine Caracio
Although I have resided in the Lehigh
Valley for 13 years, I did not begin to put down roots
until I attended Faith Church 12 years ago. I've
participated in the Women's Bible Study for 11 years
and remain active as a group facilitator and Steering
Committee Member. I have attended our Women's Retreat
for 6 years, and have served on the planning committee
for the Retreat, for five years. Although every
Retreat has been different, each has provided the
opportunity to continue to grow in my relationship
with Jesus and with the precious women of Faith
Church. As the current Board representative for the
Retreat Committee, I'd say that once a year just isn't
enough, if it weren't for
all of the planning required! Please join us for
this annual opportunity for extended and
authentic fellowship. |

Lori Dauscher
Hello there! I currently serve in the women's ministry as a
prayer coordinator. I have been attending Faith for 12
years now and definitely count it all joy to be
serving the Righteous One in this way! Born and raised
here in the Lehigh Valley, I have lived in this
area almost of my life (minus 2 years in Missouri).
Currently, I am working full time as a sales
consultant for an insurance company in Allentown, but
I also am studying for my master's degree in women's
ministry. My heart is sold out to living out His
mission and call in each and every way He designates,
and I believe prayer is one of the most important ways
of finding out what exactly that is. Now not just
for myself, but for the women of Faith, the women of
our community, for the whole body of Faith-and, more
importantly, for the entire body of Christ worldwide!
I invite you to come out and share that passion in
prayer as we meet monthly to intercede for the
ministry and listen to His voice leading us on in all
we do! |

Hi! I have
been attending MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) for 4
years- 3 of which I’ve served on the Steering
Committee. This is my first year as the Coordinator.
I’ve also served as the Hospitality team leader and
the Assistant Coordinator. Jeff and I have been
married for 13 years. We have 3 fun and active boys;
Rusty (a golden retriever- he isn’t really a dog!) is
9, Sam is 4 and Matthew is 1. I am a stay-at-home mom
and I work at home doing freelance public relations,
event planning and corporate communications. I feel
blessed to have the ability to continue my career
while still being “the mom.” I also enjoy running,
reading and cooking in my few free minutes! I love
MOPS because it meets new and young moms where they
are at this time in their life. It also gives moms a
much needed break in their hectic schedule. We have
breakfast and enjoy presentations from great speakers
on a variety of topics. Sometimes we even complete a
cool craft! While we meet, our kids are enjoying a
loving play and learning time in their age appropriate
class. I hope you will join me and the other 70 moms
at MOPS! I’ll see you there. |

Miget Geiger
I am a coordinator for the meals ministry. I've been
attending Faith Church for 28+ years. As a teen, I
even attended the first Faith Church services in the
Masonic Temple in Allentown. I live in Fogelsville
with my husband of 35 years. We have 3 married sons, 2
serving full time in Christian ministry and 5
grandchildren.
What a privilege it has been to worship
at Faith Church and be involved in the many ministry
opportunities. |

Joy Gold
Hi! I serve the women
of Faith Church in Body and Soul Ministries. This area
is dedicated to uplifting women's health both
physically and spiritually through cardio and strength
training to the latest contemporary Christian music. I
have been teaching for 5 years, am certified by the
American Council on Exercise (ACE) and I love what I
do. It is a joy to be able to exercise, praise God and
build friendships in all my classes. I live in
Macungie with my husband of 15 years, Scott, and I
have three creative and energetic children: Jennie, 11; David, 9, and Josiah, 6. I've realized during my
time serving with Body and Soul that we as women need
to take care of ourselves. Taking care of our bodies
and focusing our minds on God equips us to be the
moms, wives and women that the Bible speaks of in
Proverbs 31. Check out the info about Body and Soul
Fitness classes. I would love for you to come and join
me! |

Karen Liever
When I moved to Allentown in
1999, God led me to Faith Church, where I began
attending Women’s Evening Bible Studies. I have been
on the TLC (Together Loving Christ) PM leadership team
since 2001, and God has used this experience to grow
me in Him. He has put a passion in my heart to serve
the women of our church, wherever they are in their
walk with Him. It is to His glory that I serve as the
TLC PM representative on the Women’s Ministry Board,
on the Steering Committee, and as a leader/facilitator
of the TLC PM Women’s Bible Study. It is the desire
of my heart to see our women ministered to, cared for,
and loved, while helping them grow in their individual
walk with the Lord. I am married to Damon, have two
daughters, Tricia 19 and Christine 17, and I work for
a Christian Chiropractor in Allentown. In my spare
time, I love to scrapbook and read novels. I welcome
you to our ministry. |

Joanne Lusignea
I currently serve as the Secretary to the Women’s
Ministry Board. Being able to work with these women is
truly a blessing. Each one is wholly committed to the
work of our Awesome God and is a joy to be around. I
live in Schnecksville with Mark, my husband of 25
years, and my two teenage sons, Kevin and Kyle. We
enjoy training as martial artists, camping, hiking,
biking, soccer and hanging out with friends. |

Linda Niedbala
I have
been a part of the morning Women's Bible Study
Ministry, Together Loving Christ (TLC AM), at
Faith Church for six years. I also represent TLC on
the Women's Ministry Board. I have learned so much
from serving alongside my sisters in Christ and form
the many women with whom I've studied God's Word over
the years. We also enjoy the blessings of fellowship
and service to one another and our community. |

Michelle Olson
Hi! I currently
serve the Women’s Ministry by coordinating the
Communication to the Faith Church body of all of our
nine different women’s ministries. I love it because I
have to know what is going on all the time! I live in
Allentown with my husband of 15 years, David and my 4
year old daughter, Jackie. Faith Church has so much to
offer us as women as you can see by this website. I
encourage you to browse around and contact the
ministries that interest you. |

Judy Perrin
Hi! I help to
coordinate the meals ministry. It is such a blessing
to be a part of serving in this way. I live in
Macungie with my husband Don and we have three grown
daughters. |

Judy Warmkessel
I have
represented the evening Women's Bible Study Ministry,
Together Loving Christ (TLC PM), on the WM Board for
five years. Thirty years ago I came to know Jesus
Christ as my Savior here at Faith Church. It is my
spiritual home. God has used sound teaching from the
pulpit and discipling by other Faith Church women to
help me in my faith walk. In gratitude for His
salvation that I absolutely do not deserve, I serve
Him as He calls, and right now that’s through Faith
Church Women’s Ministries. To help me remember that
it’s all about God, I have chosen Galatians 2:20 as my
life verse, “I have been crucified with Christ and I
no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I
live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God,
who loved me and gave himself for me."
My husband Buz and I have been married
for 36 years and have a daughter and two
grandchildren. |

Anita Wise
Hi! I have been the
Treasurer of the Women's Ministry Board for the past 2
years and a member of Faith E Free Church for the past
7 years. My husband Russ and I have been married for
40 years and our two children and their spouses along
with 4 grandsons attend Faith with us. |
