SPRC is excited to announce that Annie Barrow has been selected to serve as our new PMO Director. See Annie’s photo and introduction below! We are glad to officially welcome Annie to our staff when she begins on July 22nd.

Hello! My name is Annie Barrow. My family and I have been attending Duke Memorial UMC for about two years, and we have been members since April 2018. My daughter has gone through PMO, and I know from experience what a wonderful program it is. After 15 years working in childcare, I am excited to start this new journey as the PMO Director! I will continue to support and grow this successful ministry, and I am looking forward to strengthening the connection between the PMO and the church!
