Staff Update @ Athens First UMC



This has been a big week for our Office Manager & Communications Director, Jenaye Hill. A couple of weeks ago, she was commissioned as our new Stephen Ministry Leader which is our one to one peer support ministry. Jenaye completed her week long Stephen Ministry training in Florida last month and has already started meeting with our Stephen Ministers on a monthly basis. She takes over for Sharon Stoltzfus who faithfully served as our leader for the past ten years. Sharon and her husband, Ben continue to lead our church’s Tuesday morning prayer team gathering.

In addition to being commissioned as our new Stephen Ministry Leader, Jenaye has also been appointed to serve as pastor of nearby Union UMC & New Marshfield UMC. Her first Sunday leading worship in her new appointment was February 25. She has just begun her local pastor licensing process through the Foothills District. Jenaye will continue to be our church’s Office Manager/Communications Director & our new Stephen Ministry Leader. Below is a picture of the churches she is now serving as pastor.

Please keep Jenaye in your prayers as she begins her new appointment and as she prepares to begin her process in becoming a licensed local pastor.
