About Pat

My Story

Pat Mann has taught Bible lessons in many different settings, beginning at a very young age.   Such settings include local church Bible classes, Vacation Bible School, Christian camps for youth and children, home Bible study groups, a thirty-five year weekly Bible lesson presented at the local county jail which continues to this day, and weekly Bible classes at two local nursing homes.   She has served as education director at a local church, being in charge of the education program for all ages at that church.  She has occasionally filled the pulpit in churches whose pastors are away, or for churches who currently have no pastor.   She has always found it easier to write her own Bible lessons and devotionals rather than using pre-printed materials.   She has served Woman’s Missionary Union, leading in missions education for youth at her local church, as well as serving as area director and a consultant on state and national levels of Women’s Missionary Union.  She was commissioned by WMU to write a missions day camp unit used nationally, and om another occasion assisted in planning a year’s curriculum, also for WMU.   She served as chaplain of a local nursing home for ten years, and continues to volunteer leading chapel services twice a week.

Personal Life

She is happiest when she is teaching a Bible Study class.  Her husband of 61 years, is a retired school teacher.   They enjoy traveling with friends and all things nature. In the future, she may write a presentation of experiences she has had during the many years she has taught female inmates at the county jail.

"All my writings are for the benefit of other people by providing materials that can be used, even by inexperienced Bible-lesson teachers, to present full-length lessons in a classroom setting such as Sunday School, or short lessons in the form of devotionals to open any kind of gathering with a spiritual emphasis or for one’s personal moments with the Lord.. Anyone who can read English can present a good hour-long Bible study lesson or a short five-to-ten-minute devotional that has at least one main point."
