The Violet Connection 5

Violet Welcomes Hannah Naess as Summer Youth Intern!

Hannah Naess is no stranger to Violet! As the oldest child of Pastor Brian and Sarah Naess, Hannah has attended Violet for her entire life. She has been very invested in our church and youth ministry. In addition to serving at Upward and VBS, Hannah is there to serve whenever the opportunity arises! Hannah began serving as a youth leader in our Junior High youth group as a freshman in high school and has continued to serve through her Freshman year at Cedarville University. At Cedarville, Hannah began pursuing a major in Elementary Education. After prayerful consideration, she recognized that God had called her to change her major to Biblical Studies with an emphasis in Youth and Family Ministries. Hannah desires to provide environments where students can have a safe place to find community and to grow in their walk with Jesus. Hannah has recently begun a summer internship with Overflow Youth Ministry. She will work with Pastor Keith to learn the inner workings of the youth ministry during May and June, and then provide leadership to the youth ministry during July and August while Pastor Keith is on Sabbatical. In addition to a heart for Jesus and students, Hannah brings excellent organizational and administrative gifts to this position. In addition to serving in youth ministry, Hannah will also have an opportunity to spend time with the other pastors and staff at Violet to gain a thorough understanding of the inner workings of a church. We are excited to partner with Hannah as she pursues God’s calling on her life. We are excited to welcome Hannah to the Violet team!
