Kirstin Meyers (left) just completed her sophomore year at Eureka College in Eureka, Illinois where she is majoring in Religion & Philosophy. She is a native of Seymour, Indiana.

Brenda and Kirstin started their internships on Tuesday and will wrap up on August 4. They will spend part of their time here providing leadership in the youth ministry in Sunday school, at youth events, on mission trips, at camps, and around the office. The rest of their time will be devoted to exploring their own calls to ministry by shadowing and learning from other ministers at UCC and in the Fort Worth area. Both interns will be keeping a journal that chronicles their experiences, and at the end of the summer each one will write a reflection paper that synthesizes what they will take away from the experience.

From Kera Watts, Director of Children's Ministry:  

Feeling sad that you are too old to participate in Vacation Bible School? Don't be - we NEED YOU! Take time during VBS week (June 24-27 from 9 a.m. - noon) to step back to your preschool or elementary days and share some of your energy, enthusiasm, and spirit with kids. More importantly, young children are looking up to you, think you are great, and want to be like you. Create relationships that will last years by spending time with kids during VBS teaching, learning, and having fun together.

You can sign up as a volunteer online by clicking here. We need to know you are coming so we can match you with the best job available, so please take the time to clear your calendar for June 24-27 and sign up today!  Additional VBS information is available at www.ucckids.org.
