8-27-06:

Today we begin introducing our new part-time Youth Director/Kids Kamp Coordinator, Mrs. Janine Harvey.

Janine and her husband Michael moved to Beatrice this past year for Mike’s job in administration at the Beatrice Community Hospital. Janine has three children; a son, Micah, who is two, and two daughters, Janelle - 16 and Jacyln - 15, who are finishing up their High School years in Kansas.

Our Staff Parish Relations Committee was especially impressed with her past experience in church work as a Christian Education Director and Church Program Director in United Methodist Churches in Bonner Springs and Shawnee Mission Kansas.

After the interview and approval process, Janine began her work with us last week. She has hit the ground running, meeting with Gail Butler and past Kids Kamp parents, and meeting with Cindy and me to discuss Middle School and High School Work Mission options for this coming year.

Mrs. Harvey will be providing the programming and coordinating volunteers for the Middle School Youth Program, “Faith Factor,” and coordinating work missions for the Middle School and High School and the fund raisers for those trips. She will also be providing over-all administration the volunteers for Kids Kamp. The Middle School and High School Youth and Parents are invited to meet Janine at a Wed., Sept. 6th gathering to talk about this coming year’s program. We will consecrate her on Sunday, Sept. 10th at the 9:00 o’clock and 11 o’clock worship services.

We are extremely excited to have Janine sharing her gifts with our church. Please take the opportunity to introduce ourselves as we start acclimating Mrs. Harvey to our congregation.

Grace & Peace,
