Volunteer Spotlight: Emma Blackburn

Emma Blackburn.jpg

My name is Emma Blackburn. I am going into my sophomore year of college at Fort Hays State University in Hays, Kansas. My major is Elementary Education with a minor is Special Education. While in Hays I go to Saint Michael’s Episcopal Church where I am serving as the children’s minister. At Good Shepherd, I currently help with Godly Play, am a reader, Eucharistic minister, and acolyte. In the past I have assisted in the kitchen with Music with a Mission. I am a cradle Episcopalian and have been a part of four Episcopal Churches. I have volunteered at every one of them.

Volunteering has been a huge part of my life ever since I can remember. Not only does it make a difference it makes you feel good as well. For me it makes me feel like part of a community. Now I know everyone might not be interested in committing to a long-term volunteer position, but there are many other options. My favorite things to volunteer for at church are acolyting and working with the kids in Godly Play.
