our35212: Woodlawn Methodist’s Matt Lacey
Earlier this week I had the pleasure of meeting Matt Lacey, a minister who recently started working at WUMC. He is excited about pastoring the church’s congregation with Reverend Larry Horne and is looking forward to getting involved in our community. We are glad he agreed to share a bit about himself here at the35212.com.

I just work here now (Woodlawn UMC)–maybe in 6 months or so, I’ll be a permanent neighbor.
What is one of your favorite things about this neighborhood?
The richness and diversity of cultures, attitudes, people
What is a typical day like for you?
Dream about how Woodlawn could be a hub of new activity–a space of new creation
What item do you prefer to not live without?
iPhone–I know my dependence is sad…
Which living person do you most admire?
What a cruel question…I don’t know…probably Bill Murray
Where do you do your best thinking?
In the morning, on the tail end of a coffee buzz, at a desk, surrounded by books
What/who inspires you?
Potential (ok…and my wife Katie)
What do you value most in your friends?
Their idiosyncrasies
What do you appreciate most about our neighborhood?
The vivid interest of the people for their community
Is there anything else you’d like to share with us?
I’m new to work in the neighborhood, and would like to stay informed about what’s going on/how I can become involved.
Y’all feel free to leave a comment letting Matt know how to get involved. We’d love to hear your suggestions.
