Jacquetta Owen

After retiring from teaching, Jacquetta has stayed busy helping kids and adults learn about music, hand bells, sewing, cooking, and leading Bible school. She developed the hand bell program at SCUMC (which is for all ages) and most recently started STEM camps for elementary age kids to encourage problem solving and creativity skills.

Believing in the value of learning life concepts through rhythm and rhyme, Jacquetta also runs the music programs for the church Daycare and Preschool. Additionally, she and Pala plan and prepare the Wednesday night meals for Wholly Wonderful Wednesdays, emphasizing delicious, healthy, home-cooked food choices.  Jacquetta has organized yard parties, bake sales, our annual Trunk or Treat, social events, guitar lessons, and more for Stephens City UMC.  In her spare time, she teaches sewing classes at Hobby Lobby and manages the local Saturday morning farm market at Trinity Lutheran Church during growing season.
