Barbara Hafler is the Church Secretary at Quakertown United Methodist Church. With a 44-year career in office management, she has worked at the church for 28 years! If you have a question about the church, Barbara is sure to have the answer. And if she doesn’t, she knows where to find it! While she enjoys many aspects of her job, Barbara is the most thankful for the relationships she has established with church members. She says, “When I count the many blessings I have in my life, being a part of the ministry, mission, and church family of QUMC is something I am thankful to God for each and every day.” It is because of her church family that Barbara has stayed on for so many years at the church. Barbara and her husband, Dave, live in Milford Township with their two miniature dachshunds, Peaches and Daisy. They are the proud parents of an adult daughter, Amanda, the first in their families to obtain a Master’s Degree. Barbara enjoys sewing, cooking, cuddling her doxies, and sailing on a cruise ship!
