Amber Lillemo
My name is Amber Lillemo and I am 28 years old and newly married to Aaron. We live on an acreage near Stacy with our two dogs and a cat. I've been walking with Christ for almost 9yrs and finding the ups and downs challenging but fascinating at the same time (Much like I’m sure my marriage will be). If everything was perfect, life would be boring! I love being active with different things at the church and outside of church. There is always something to help out with and often some new skill to learn. I strive to stay active both physically and mentally--and riding my motorcyle helps a ton with both. I think I remember a pastor asking me if I was ADD. I'm pretty sure I’m not. =) (Oooo shiny thing!) I was born and raised in MN, and I love traveling to other states and countries (including Israel in 2007). My family background is pretty mixed--you would have to ask to understand. But I’ve learned that sharing and hoarding are very conflicting traits learned from being raised in a family of 5 kids.
The Carrara's
We're Matt, Amanda and Julia Carrara (born May 1, 2008). We are originally from Pennsylvania and have been living in Minnesota (and lovin' it) for four years. We started coming to Maranatha April of 2006. I (Amanda) am a Kindergarten teacher in Spring Lake Park; but am currently staying home with our little girl. I love to take walks, rollerblade, sit at the pool or beach, read a good book, chat with friends, and visit with our family in PA.
I (Matt) am a Project Manager with Boston Scientific. I love golfing, weightlifting, snowboarding, and of course hanging out with the two lovely ladies in my life! As the Young Adult Ministries leaders at Marantha, we are committed to loving God with all of our being. We want to connect with other young adults in our journeys with Christ, encourage each other to have a passionate walk with the Lord, and create a place where we can together explore His truths and love in a genuine fashion...
Our Young Adult Ministries is committed to growing spiritually, socially and in service to one another and society.
