Welcome Courtney!

3/23/2017

 
Families coming to worship with their little ones can expect a new face in the nursery.  McFarland UCC welcomes Courtney O'Brien as our new nursery attendant.  Courtney is state certified in daycare and just recently moved to McFarland from Oregon where she worked full time in child care.

"I am so excited to have this job opportunity at MUCC and am looking forward to being a part of the church.  Ever since I was little I knew teaching and caring for young children was where my heart was.  Having been in McFarland just two weeks, I love the community already.  It’s been such a refreshing place to relocate.  The people are amazing, there is a small town feel, and I’m closer to my parents, brothers and sweet nephew, Tegan O’Brien who plays hockey for McFarland.  My family, friends, two dogs (Bentley and Cooper) and my daycare business are my pride and joy!  I can't wait to start meeting everyone that's a part of this amazing Church." 
​Courtney will be celebrating her 33rd birthday this June and is especially thankful for life and family because at age 31 she was diagnosed with a rare form of sarcoma cancer.  After four surgeries, 32 radiation treatments and four months of chemotherapy Cortney has been cancer free since July 26th 2016.
“[that was] one of the happiest days for the O’Brien family!  My battle against cancer was by far the toughest thing I’ve ever had to do.  But, cancer taught me a lot about life.
 
It brought me closer to God.
It's allowed me to live, laugh and love even more than before.
It's taught me the importance of family and friendships.
It's taught me to believe in my doctors and trust God with everything.
It's taught me to love the new me, even with the scars and bald head.
It's truly humbled me and made me a better person. ​
​Courtney also enjoys running, being outdoors, nature, cooking, laughing, exercise, traveling, beaches, and so much more.  Swing by the nursery (even if you're not dropping off a kiddo) and get to know this wonderful new addition to the MUCC staff family.
