Well With Her Soul: Jolonda Lowe
Judy Popineau Wick
Jolonda is another young adult who understands the value of adults continuing to use their gifts, serving God in their later years.
Jolonda is one of the younger members of the YES! Young Enough to Serve board of directors. She serves as a worship leader/coach at Grace Church in Avon, Massachusetts. She and her husband Emrys are blessed to be Elijah’s parents.
Coming to Christ in Wisconsin, Jolonda started attending church in high school mainly to hang out with her peers. Her greatest spiritual breakthrough came, though, through impact from outside her peer group. Jill is a woman many years older than Jolonda, who gave Jolonda her first Bible and helped instill in her a deep appreciation for God’s word.
Jolonda now serves in a Massachusetts church with a broad swath of ages, striving to move beyond age stereotypes and to see each other as brothers and sisters in Christ. She knows her generation can always appear busy and on their phones, but she acknowledges that she and her peers yearn for connection and the wisdom older generations can offer. She challenges those older and younger to deliberately go after those relationships … leading to learning and growth.
Our souls will be healthier and well when we come together … with our eyes fixed on Jesus!
