I am Sarai Rodriguez and I've grown up in the Adventist church. I've been a member of the Palm Springs church since 2001.  I love working with kids and am happy to give my time to teach Sabbath School and help grow our children's ministry.  I'm the middle daughter of three sisters and have a miniature poodle named Sunny (he's my baby). I believe the Lord has brought me to serve, not just the children, but all my church members. I'm so happy to help my church family with anything.
