Coffee, books, travel ~ did we mention coffee, and a lifelong friendship that spans close to a half-century, Melissa and Miriam have shared many life experiences.  

Their first partnership opportunity spanned two summers working at a church camp together shepherding teenage girls through fun and sometimes harrowing times, including a resident mouse that probably lives in the cabin to this day. Working in the kitchen they found they had complementary skill sets. Melissa handled things on the lower shelves and all the hot griddle situations and Miriam handled the high shelves and whacking spiders. At times they’ve attended the same church, traveled to the Czech Republic and Paris together, and provided training to parents and children’s church teachers.

​

Over the years their lives have run parallel but different courses, yet through it all, it has remained a life-giving, edifying friendship.   In 2022, it became increasingly obvious that now was the time to pursue working together on a more formal basis. While their skill sets have sharpened, they still find a good cup of coffee fuels great conversation and their partnership.
