Hi, my name is Dave Pagura. I’ve been blessed to be married to Annette these past (nearly) 33 years. We are owned by a cat, Lucy, whom we serve most willingly. Annette and I enjoy cooking together, travel, hiking, and reading.
I worked in a beverage-can manufacturing plant for 34 years and retired at age 55. Subsequently, I enrolled at Franklin University in an Inter-Disciplinary Bachelor’s Degree program of Global Business and Communications as my two majors. I currently have senior status; expecting to graduate in 2023. I’ve been taking Course of Study on the beautiful campus of Candler School of Theology in Atlanta. Home to some of the best pastors/professors anywhere. This summer, I will complete 13/20 classes. I have an appointment to two churches. The first is more rural, Alexandria OH, and filled with fantastic folks, eager to learn, and willing to serve, Christians. The second, small to medium size town, Newark OH, Christian Endeavor. They are comprised of mostly older, but wonderfully young-at-heart, folks embracing technology to reach others for Christ through fellowship, serving, and learning together. Along with the Henderson Settlement Board, I serve on the boards of Children's Defense Fund Freedom Schools of Licking County, Licking County HOPE, and assist at the Look-Up Center in Newark OH. I have a passion for global mission work and community outreach that blesses both through filling gaps in shelter, food and water, education, health, and faith. |

I live in Hilliard, OH, and have been a member of Scioto Ridge UMC for 42 years. My late husband, Ray, was an Assistant Dean at The Ohio State University in the College of Food, Agriculture, and Environmental Sciences. We have two sons, two daughters-in law, and four grandchildren.
I am a retired seventh grade language arts teacher and I spent most of my 27 teaching years in the Hilliard City Schools.
Currently I am a full-time volunteer serving as President of Capitol Area South United Methodist Women, secretary to Community Development for All People Board in Columbus, OH, (National Mission Site of UMW), and on the steering committee for the Buckeye Clinic in South Sudan, Africa.
Ray and I prayed for God to show us what He wanted us to do in our retirement. We felt Him leading us to facilitate a mission team from Scioto Ridge UMC to Henderson Settlement in 2004. This team has come since that time and four years ago SRUMC's youth director asked me to lead a youth team during their Spring Break. We will be bringing our fourth youth team to Henderson in March 2020.
I have felt God's call to encourage and facilitate others' involvement in missions.
