Chip Lee, Stephen Minister Leader

Shepherd has been a part of my life since I was a very young child. I went to elementary school here. I was confirmed here and eventually taught Sunday School to preschoolers for 10 years with my sister, Caryl Benner. I was recently elected Congregational President after a term as Secretary. I became a Stephen Minister a few years ago and last year joined the Stephen Leaders team here, after attending the week long training course in Anaheim.

 

I have had to cope with a lot of health issues and as a result it has given me a lot of empathy for others who also experience problems in their lives. 

 

Some of my favorite activities include watching the All Blacks play rugby, fishing, micro-lending through Kiva and goofing around all I can with my nieces and nephew.

 

Thank you for your prayers and continuing support,

Chip
