This information will be brought out through small group discussion and

be a better church for Christ and the World!

focus on  “How we plug people into the ministries at RBUMC.”

3) New Director of the Preschool at RBUMC
We welcome Anna Andrew from Lexington as our new preschool director to 
Red Bank UMC this fall. As the SPRC and Preschool Board prayed about 
new leadership for the ’08-09 year, we feel blessed with this new 
opportunity for our church. We feel Anna’s outgoing spirit, her 
faith and experience, her leadership and her vision will be great assets 
for our church and our preschool ministry. Anna comes from Pisgah 
Lutheran Church where she, during her time there, developed and 
implemented a thriving preschool program.

other news.. Kimberly Kimbrell (a preschool mom) and a soon to be member 
of RBUMC has also been approved by the SPRC as a substitute/assistant 
teacher for the preschool as needed.

Thanks again to Angie Mootry (our previous preschool director) for her 
dedication to the RBUMC preschool, the kids and their parents.

Joy and Peace ~ Rev. Tommy Wilkes
