Paula Nelson
Executive Director
[accordion title=””]
[accordionitem title=”Read Paula’s Bio”]Paula was first introduced to Sweet Monday in 2002 after moving to Richmond, Virginia and was a regular at the Sweet Monday in our founder, Kim Newlen’s home. Sweet Monday hit a passionate nerve in Paula’s heart to reach women for Christ by sharing the gospel in a fun, faithful and relevant way. In 2008, Paula, Eric and her family moved to Tennessee, and in 2013 she was inspired to start a Sweet Monday in her home in Brentwood as a way to meet her neighbors, build community and share the love of Christ with women around her. In the spring of 2014, after the death of Sweet Monday founder, Kim Newlen, the Sweet Monday board of directors asked Paula if she would consider continuing the mission God gave Kim to reach women for Christ through Sweet Monday. Feeling His leading she stepped in as the new executive director. Paula, her husband Eric, and sons Reagan, Rylee and Zachary make their home in Brentwood, Tennessee where she continues hosting a Sweet Monday in her home and leading the ministry of Sweet Monday to continue connecting women to each other and to Christ, one sweet invitation at a time.[/accordionitem]

Jamie Breeden
Director of Ministry Operations
[accordion title=””]
[accordionitem title=”Read Jamie’s Bio”]After working for the Commonwealth of Virginia for 25+ years, Joyful Jamie (that’s what Sweet Kim Newlen called her) sensed God’s leading to work full time in ministry. When Sweet Monday decided to hire an office manager in 2005 and once she and Kim met, the rest was sweet history! Jamie felt her gifts and talents would be honoring to God and His Kingdom; and her experience and background in administration, attention to details and caring for others would be an ideal fit. Joyful Jamie loves the Lord; and Sweet Monday was a match made in heaven. Not only is she able to share God’s word and love with women every day on the phone or through emails and Facebook, she also has the joy of encouraging and serving others. She loves sharing Sweet Monday’s vision and assisting women in offering simple and fun socials in their homes and churches. Joyful Jamie enjoys participating in and leading Bible studies, traveling, crafting and baking! She is an aunt to three wonderful nieces and many great nieces and nephews. Jamie shares her home with her buoyant and exuberant Llewellin English Setter, Brodie.[/accordionitem]
