Hi I'm Elvira Kenzie, administrative assistant at Temple Baptist Church. My husband Terry and I have been attending here for over 28 years and are glad to be part of this church family. As many other Medicine Hat residents, we originally came from Saskatchewan and go back to visit there from time to time. Terry and I have one son, one daughter, a son-in-law and two small dogs. One of my most treasured moments are those times that I can spend with my family. I have many hobbies; I love to read, sew, crochet and quilt.  I also enjoy going for walks.
