My husband and I have attended OSA since the fall of 1990, when we moved back to the area from Virginia. We were looking for a church home in which to raise the family we hoped to soon have, and wanted a church that was a good fit for a former Congregationalist, and a Catholic. We both loved the warmth and friendliness of OSA, and for me, the music and choir was also a great match. We live in Simsbury, and our 2 sons have grown up in this church and developed life long friends here.

I work for CREC, in the Farmington schools with deaf students, for academic support. At OSA I am in the choir, and have been involved in various committees such as worship, outreach/inreach, and most recently, adult education.
