Get to know our Women's Ministry Director, Tammie Haynes!
How long have you been at Pear Orchard on staff? We joined POPC in January of 1990, but I've been on staff since June 1, 2015.
Where did you grow up? Starkville.
What are some of your hobbies? Reading, traveling, gardening, "junkin" at flea markets.
Fun fact about yourself: As a youngster, I showed sheep in 4H.
What is one of the best meals you've ever had? One of the best meals I've ever had was the breakfast at Bay Breeze Bed and Breakfast in Fair Hope AL. It was an omelet with fresh caught crab and shrimp from the Gulf with delicious sides. What made it so wonderful was the setting - it was prepared in an outdoor kitchen on the Bay Breeze dock. It was beautiful, peaceful and I had the joy and pleasure of my husband's company. We were celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary. A more recent outstanding meal was with children and grandchildren at P-Reaux's in Yazoo, back in January. Shrimp and Oyster po-boy! Evan, Ken, and I drove up to Yazoo a few weeks ago and ordered the same meal curbside. It did not disappoint!!
What are you known for? These days, it may be sitting out on my back patio visiting with women? I would like to be known for being hospitable, welcoming. a lover of the Lord Jesus, His Word, His people, and His kingdom. I need His Spirit at work within me to love this way...His Way!
It's a joy and privilege to be a part of POPC's church staff. I'm very thankful for our church family.
