Family Finds Strength Working, Praying Together

May 18, 2009 · No Comments

People who work in the medical field have a calling to help others and for many who work at NorthBay, that doesn’t end when the day’s work is done.

Michael Simms, lead radiology technologist, and his wife, Jennifer Simms, pharmacy technology support specialist, are an example. “There is a need in our community and we strive to make a difference in the lives of people who need it the most,” Michael says. The Simms and their three children try to make a difference through involvement with their church, Celebration Christian Center in Fairfield.

Jennifer is in charge of the church’s nursery and is responsible for creating the church bulletin. Michael is the director of Celebration’s Kidz Club, where he teaches Bible classes to six groups of children one night a week. Together, the Simms may spend anywhere from six to 20 hours a week on various church projects. “We have learned it takes work and helping each other to get things done. No one can do it by themselves; many hands make less work for everyone.”
