In an office that overlooks one of the village's most attractive spots, the several acres of wooded property between Haven Avenue and Route 30, Miller spends her day.

Mainly, Miller said she considers her job a ministry too. "My ministry is more behind the scenes. It's a support ministry." Everyone from the pastor to the music ministry leaders look to Miller to help keep them organized and on track. .
