A BRIGHT FUTURE FOR IPC FAMILIES B Y C AT H E R I N E G O UDR E AU, DIR E CTOR OF FAMILY MINIST RIES AND T HE CHIL DREN’S F RESH AIR FARM

any of us think about the beginning of the year as a time of change. For our Family Ministry staff that has certainly been true! In January we welcomed Cammie Ashworth as our Director of Youth Ministries. Cammie jumped right in, and on her second day we departed with 21 youth and six adults for our winter retreat in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. The youth had a wonderful time growing in their faith and deepening their relationships with God and one another. We are all looking forward to Cammie’s long, life-giving ministry here at IPC. Cammie makes up a third of our dynamic youth team. We are also fortunate to have our beloved intern, Grace Daniels, who joined us last summer, as well as Susan Dukes, who has faithfully supported the youth ministry as both a parent and a staff member for many years. Susan now serves as our Youth Ministry Program Coordinator. The new year also brought about exciting changes in our Children’s Ministries department. Emma Stewart was named Director of Children’s Ministries.
