Our Team
Sylvia Miles
Senior Chairwoman: Who am I? Always learning about me everyday. I'm pretty much a hot mess without Him, and sometimes. . .I'm a mess with Him! I keep working on living life for His glory, and am thankful for God's mercy and grace!!
It has been my great honor to be the chairwoman for Women HAND in Hand since its inception in 2012, and now I am sharing that lead role with Nicole Hoffman. God has surrounded me with a wonderful team of women whose deepest desire is for other women to know Jesus Christ.
I've prayed that God would allow me to share the Gospel with a Jewish person, and in January that happened. My seatmate on a flight to Oregon wanted to know why I would pray for Israel everyday. I pulled out my Bible and shared Scriptures from Ezekiel. He was stunned as we read it together, and by the end of our short flight, David asked me to pray for Israel as hostages were to be released the next day. I asked if I could pray for him too, and right then I spoke the Aaronic blessing over him from Numbers 6:24-26. All this started because God has blessed me with a granddaughter of my heart, Eliana, and as he talked to his daughter across the aisle, he called her by name, Eliana, which means "God has answered."

Lorri Pfluger
Chairwoman of Prayer: I am newly appointed to the role. I am so pleased to be a part of this team.
I am a woman blessed with unique and varied talents! I've been described as “eclectic” and I'm certain my family would agree. My husband and I have been married for 43 years. We enjoy Day Creek Cowboy Church, playing golf, watching golf (He plays, I watch) and spending time with family and “framily” (friends who are family). We have 3 grandchildren whom we adore (We adore the parents too).
I am a newbie to WHH as a part of the Team, but I've supported this ministry, for many years by attending events, through prayer and inviting women to attend! I've been deeply blessed
Home Church: Day Creek Chapel Cowboy Church
Favorite Bible Verse: Psalm 46:10
“Be still and know that I am God, I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in all the earth.”
Many years ago, my Pastor pointed me to that verse and advised me to claim it as my own. I struggled with “being still and knowing.” This verse is truly my life verse. Being still, taking my fixes off the table, and waiting on God have been the hardest yet most rewarding lessons of my life. I KNOW that He is and was and always will be! He will be and is exalted in all the earth! I find peace and assurance no matter what happens, God!
Fun Fact: I have a big bubble machine on my deck that I use regularly! And even though my Grandchildren are 21, 16, and 10… they still love the bubble times with Nana, but I still use it without them! Bubbles are a joy! A whimsy gift from Jesus and are an instant relief from almost any earthly care!

I have been enthusiastically serving on the board of WHH since it's inception in 2012. I am currently in charge of our catered meals and snacks (let me know any suggestions), and aid with our Stories of Hope booklets.
Favorite Bible Verse: My favorite bible verse is one given to me by the Lord himself, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009. He said "Susan, do not be afraid! Be bold and courageous and the Lord, your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9. I repeated that to myself over and over again. What a comfort!
Home Church: I have attended Day Creek Chapel since 2004, where I got saved!
Fun fact: My fun fact is I enjoy cutting, and creating wood signs and projects!!

Favorite Bible Verse: Jeremiah 29:11
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
This is one of my favorite verses. In fact, I have a plaque with the verse printed on it hanging in my hallway. It hangs above pictures of my grandchildren. When my grandchildren pass by and read the plaque, I pray the words are grounded in their hearts and they claim them as their own for their lives.
Fun Facet: One fact about me is I love to fish and I’m very competitive. My husband and I have a fishing boat, which we like to take out in the San Juan islands and out of Everett to fish. Our latest trip was out of Everett where I caught a nice size fish. I’m happy to say it was bigger than my husband’s. I have included a picture of my catch.
