I am Pastor Laurie Riley.  On July 1, 2022, I was appointed to Hudson UMC and am happy to  be here.  I have served churches across Iowa for the last 30 years and enjoy serving in smaller churches because I get to meet and work with the people who are connected to the church. I look forward to meeting you and finding out what ministries you would like to see here at Hudson UMC.


My name is Mary Rekers and I have been secretary here since September 2016.  I grew up in Janesville and currently call Cedar Falls home.  I am retired from the Black Hawk County Health Department where I was the fiscal manager for 35 years.  I also work as the box office manager for the Waterloo Community Playhouse and Black Hawk Children’s Theatre.  I enjoy working in my yard, UNI athletics, needle work, and spending time with friends and family.
