FUMC-PSJ Treasurer
As Church Treasurer, Laurie Blair brings more than 15 years experience in Methodist church accounting to the finances of the church. She has worked for five Methodist churches in Florida and North Carolina varying from large to small congregations. She feels her calling is to faithfully account for the funds that have been given for God’s work, and to communicate that information to the church leadership and the congregation. She translates financial reports so that everyone can understand what the numbers mean. Laurie has been married for over 20 years to her husband Bill, and they have 3 children Melissa, John and Matt. Melissa has also blessed them with 2 grandchildren, who live with their mother in Jacksonville.
Interim Praise Team Director
Laurie is currently serving in an interim capacity as Praise Team Director. She brings her passion for worship, and over 10 years experience as a Praise Team member to the church. She began playing in church worship services at the age of 13, and has been a founding member of 3 Praise Teams. To her, music is her primary way to connect with our Lord, and she hopes to bring her passion to the congregation each Sunday. However, she does feel her current service is transitional, and the Lord will bring the next Director to the church in His Time. Laurie has been married for over 20 years to her husband Bill, and they have 3 children Melissa, John and Matt. Melissa has also blessed them with 2 grandchildren, who live with their mother in Jacksonville.
