This week, Middle School students and adult volunteers from Grace Avenue UMC, FUMC Richardson, and FUMC Coppell have joined together for a Mission Life trip in Paris, Tx. Mission Life is an initiative out of Grace Avenue that not only brings students for summer mission trips but encourages them to live a Mission Life by returning to the same community for consecutive years and doing mission projects throughout the year to continue a relationship with the community.

Right now, we have 58 students are serving all around Lamar county including serving at Cultiv8 community, Shady Grove UMC, Roxton UMC, First UMC Bogata, City Square Paris, and helping out members of FUMC Paris.

This is the third summer that Mission Life has been serving in the community of Paris with High School and Middle School trips. We have also served with the Paris Junior College Wesley Center, Kiwanis Club, Texas Ramp Project, and many more individuals in Paris and the surrounding community. We have loved building our relationships here over the last 3 summers and are so thankful for the warm hospitality of FUMC Paris and everyone we have met and served alongside.

Blessings,
Sarah (Rozeboom) Schneider
Youth Minister

It's official, I'm retired! After 24 years of being a District Admin for the NTC EAST District, I'm hanging up my hat and trading it in for a life of leisure. I've worked with some amazing people at the North Texas Conference of The United Methodist Church, 7 District Superintendents (Derrick Wright, Pat Beghtel Mahle, Keith Payne Boone, Paul Gould, Joan G. La Barr, Vic Casad and Cassie Wade) and way too many pastors to count, and let me tell you, it's been quite the adventure! I have made some wonderful friends that are like family. I wouldn't trade this experience for anything, but I'm excited to start the next chapter of my life. Bring on the travel, endless DIY projects, and loving 🥰 on my grandchildren.

Laity and Clergy of the East District!

I am so excited to announce the newest member of the District office team. As you know, Jan Chapman has announced her retirement (after 24 + years) effective 7/1/2024. Following an extensive search for the next District Administrative Assistant, myself and the Superintendency Committee are glad to introduce you to Jennifer Philo.

Jennifer is no stranger to East District United Methodist circles as she has worked for Wesley UMC and First UMC in Sulphur Springs for the past three decades. Most recently she has been the Communication Director for First UMC Sulphur Springs where she has been on staff for 23 years and worn many hats during her tenure.

Jennifer comes to this role with a multitude of skills and a genuine love for acts of service. With a deep understanding of our particular United Methodist practices and polity, she will be a grand addition to our office. Her official start date is June 1, 2024, but you will begin to see her during the May district and conference gatherings.

Jennifer is married to Craig, a teacher at Sulphur Springs High School. They have two grown boys (Jonathan and Corban), and too many pets! During her spare time she loves to bake, craft, and redecorate her home. Please welcome Jennifer Philo to the East District office.

Rev. Cassie Wade
East District Superintendent
