The Seventh Annual Ladies’ Fall Retreat and Luncheon will be held at the Rock Port Baptist Church Sunday, October 9th, from noon to approximately 2 p.m. The guest speaker for this year’s event is Chris Jeppesen. She will be speaking on “The Seasons of Life”.
Chris has two grown children and five grandchildren and was married to her husband, Tim, for 32 years. For the majority of their marriage, they lived in Hannibal, Missouri and were members of Immanuel Baptist Church. Three years ago, following the death of her husband, she moved to Kansas City and is a member of Pleasant Valley Baptist Church in Liberty, Missouri where she leads the church’s Stephen Ministry. She has a passion for teaching and a strong desire to encourage those in difficult life situations.
A middle school teacher by profession, Chris moved from teaching reading/writing in the classroom to teaching GED students in Christian Women’s Job Corps (a one –on-0ne mentoring ministry reaching out to women in need). She has served as a Sunday School teacher, a speaker, a mentor, a national ministry trainer, and as Executive Director of CWJC. Chris has been blessed to be able to share her love for Jesus with women throughout the Midwest, Texas, South Africa, and Haiti.
Lunch will be served prior to the presentation. Childcare will NOT be available. All ladies are invited but you are requested to RSVP prior to Friday, October 7 by calling and leaving a message to the church office at 660-744-2366, Bing Boettner at 660-582-6400, or email rpbaptist@rpt.coop
