When I was a wee-girl (a junior in high school) I felt a call to youth ministry. I became a Christian at a summer camp when I was in the 6th grade and loved it so much I went there and worked every summer they would let me. As I grew up and my call to ministry developed, I decided to pursue a degree in student ministry and attended Huntington University from 2001 – 2005. After that I had a handful of very interesting jobs, a few working with students as youth minister and a few pushing papers. But it was my love of student ministry that brought me to Texas; before I moved to Texas, I’d lived in Tennessee (born), Ohio (grew up), Indiana (college), Florida (my parents moved there 2 weeks after I graduated college), and Hawaii (internship)!
Susan Weinand has been the Financial Coordinator of our church since Spring 2009. Susan is a graduate of Texas A&M University, class of ’78. She is married to Len and has two children, Trey and Christine. Apart from church work, Susan’s’ interests include, bowling, playing bridge, traveling, and spending time with friends.
I graduated from Baptist Memorial Hospital School of Nursing in San Antonio, Texas on June 21st, 1972. I have remained active as a Registered Nurse since that time and have worked in the fields of Intensive Care, Cardiac Care, Emergency Room, Surgery, and Kidney Dialysis. The best Nursing job I have ever had is right here at First United Methodist Church, working with the members of the congregation and with the Community of New Braunfels.
I am married to Dale Hartman and have 3 wonderful grown children; Amy Bradford (husband Cecil), Jeff Smith (wife LaRhonda), and Heidi Smith. I have one Grandchild, Elliott Lee Bradford.
In my spare time I love spending time with my children and Grandson, working with my plants, and reading. I also enjoy spending time with friends and family playing games and visiting. My favorite place to be is at the beach, walking along the shoreline and watching the waves.
I try to live my life by the Bible verses Phillipians 4: 6-7. “Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

EmailMy husband, Danny, and I have been members of FUMC since 2002, and I have been on staff since Fall 2007. Although I earned a Masters Degree in Sociology from Texas State, my passion is creating visual art. FUMC afforded me the opportunity to turn my hobby into a job!
I run the projector during services. I also create the announcement slides that project before services, and the sermon slides for the contemporary service. When time permits, I create promo materials, including videos for the church. I also keep the website updated.
