May 2016 Haiti Mission Trip

Summer Student Ministry Intern! We are pleased to announce that Chelsea Price has been hired to work as our Student Ministries Intern this summer! Chelsea is currently a Junior at the University of Missouri—Kansas City where she studies Accounting. As the Student Ministries Intern, she will work 20 hours a week and assist Dustin and our other adult volunteers in all aspects of student ministry, including the summer mission trips. Chelsea grew up in Chillicothe and graduated from CHS in 2013. Throughout high school, she was an active partici-pant in the First Baptist youth group and has remained active in the student ministry programs there throughout college. Chelsea will help bring a fresh perspective and new ideas to our Christ4Life programs and her vibrant spiritual maturity will be a wonderful asset in the Student Ministry Internship position. She will begin working in late May and continue throughout the summer. Please lift up our entire student ministry program in pray-er, and be sure to extend a warm welcome and congratula-tions to Chelsea when you get the chance to meet her!

Dear UMC, Thank you once again for funding the youth and chaper-

Thanks again, Kevin Hansen

bereavement team for the wonderful meal.

Special thanks to Rev. John Rice for conducting the

wonderful service. We looked forward to his many visits, help

God Bless all of you, The “R. Scott Stephens Family”

staff was very supportive as well. We have a wonderful

church family!
