This week's Woosley Woman is Leslie Wooten.
Leslie is from Louisville, Kentucky, and attends HeartSong Church, where she is a steady and joyful presence. She is a devoted wife to Matt and a loving mom to her two children, Sammy and Hannah, roles she carries with so much care, strength, and grace.
For over 27 years, Leslie has faithfully served as an elementary music teacher, pouring into the lives of countless students. As she prepares to retire, her legacy in the classroom is one of patience, creativity, and genuine love for every child she taught.
Her heart for service doesn’t stop there. At church, Leslie is often one of the first to arrive, coming early to help set up and prepare the space for worship. She has served as an elder at HeartSong and has been involved in children’s ministry, always ready to invest in the next generation.
Across the Cumberland Presbytery, Leslie serves as the Christian Education Coordinator and faithfully plans and leads Junior and Senior Camp each summer. Through these camps, she creates spaces where students can grow in their faith, build relationships, and experience the love of Christ in meaningful ways.
What stands out most about Leslie is her spirit. She is a joy to be around, constantly positive, always smiling, and someone who makes everyone feel welcome. There is truly no stranger to Leslie. She meets people with warmth, kindness, and a genuine joy that reflects her faith in everything she does.
Leslie, thank you for the way you serve so faithfully and love so intentionally. Your life is a beautiful example of joy, leadership, and wholehearted devotion to God and others.
