Suzanna Green
Suzanna Green is a cradle Episcopalian who spent most of her growing up years in the Diocese of West Texas. She has been working in formation ministries for churches over the past 11 years. Before that she served at her various home churches helping with VBS, the Christmas pageant, children’s Sunday school, and working in the nursery. She also served on staff at Camp Capers and Mustang Island Family Camp for a few summers each as a counselor, staff member, and teacher. She continues to serve at one or both camps as a teacher most summers. Suzanna has a Bachelor’s degree in Child and Family Studies and a Master’s degree in Theology and Ministry. She has experience in curriculum development, curriculum curation, mentorship and coaching, planning and hosting events, and leading formation for children and adults. Currently she serves as the Bishop’s Deputy for Christian Formation for the Diocese of West Texas. She has been a member of Forma since 2019.
Suzanna lives in Beeville, Texas with her husband Andrew, her 9-month-old, and her 12-year-old pup. She is passionate about connecting people of all ages to resources that help them learn more about God, sharing Godly Play stories, playing board games, reading children’s books, listening to podcasts, and taking time in nature.
Aimee Bostwick
Aimee has served in The Episcopal Church as a professional lay minister for nearly 30 years. Her love of the Church and her desire to serve began when she was a summer camp counselor at Camp Hardtner, an Episcopal camp and conference center in Louisiana. That summer began a journey of ministry in the Church that has led her to serve as a youth minister, diocesan youth coordinator, and director of programs for a large parish in Austin, Texas. Aimee also served on the board of Forma. Each step along her journey, Kanuga has been a place of transformation and preparation for the next step along of her vocational path. It seems only fitting that the Spirit has led her back to Kanuga in the role of coordinator of community and spiritual life.
Aimee is completing her Masters of Spiritual Formation from the Seminary of the Southwest. In her free time, she loves hiking, dancing to live music, and being with her family and friends around a campfire.
