Virginia Moran

I was born in Richmond, Virginia on November 3, 1947. We moved to Caroline, County when I was very young, and that's where I spent most of my growing up years. I was saved and baptized at Carmel Baptist Church. My husband Joe and I met at C. T. Smith high school in 1965. We were married two years later on March 10, 1967. In over 39 years of marriage we have had ups and downs like most people; but our greatest blessings are our three beautiful children, and eight wonderful grandchildren. I love to cook, shop, go to car shows, and I love game nights with the family.

Joe and I came to Heritage in 1996 and I think we knew right away this was the place for us. We are currently teaching the Teen Sunday school class, which is a tremendous challenge. We want to instill a Christian world view in the kids: To have them STAND UP FOR GOD, rather than fit in with the crowd.

I was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, but the Fredericksburg area has been my home since I was four or five years old. Most of my schooling was in Spotsylvania County, although I finished the last half of my senior year and graduated from C. T. Smith in Caroline, County. During that time I lived with my aunt and uncle; two very strong Christians. Their Christian walk was really my first introduction to Christianity. They were not pushy but it seemed whenever you were around them, somehow the subject of Christ would come up. I know they prayed for me. Those prayers had a great influence on my life. Although it was many years later I finally did come to Christ, I thank them for their love and prayers.

Coming to Heritage was such a blessing for our family. Here we were able to watch and learn from so many mature Christians. We thank God for that privilege. Having the opportunity to teach the Teen Sunday school class is a joy and a big responsibility. Teens have so many pressures on them and we want to help them make wise decisions. We consider Proverbs 22:1 to be our class verse and often quote this verse in class. "A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches" We all make choices everyday, we want our kids to make those that are pleasing to God.
