Renne Meyer

Renne  Meyer, The First United Methodist Church Puppeteer Director since 1992, considers her ministry a calling from God. 

She has worked with youth for many years beginning with her involvement with various church activities as a young adult. The wife of a new minister asked Renne to help with a new activity for the youth of  the church.  Since she had sewing skills she was able to help create and design the puppets.  But she soon found that creating the puppets was just the beginning of a wonderful experience for her and the many youth that participated in this ministry. 

The Puppet Team performed at many church services and various competitions.  This
involved many practices and travel and Renne was there to give guidance and encouragement.  
The youth learned how to make the puppets come to life and teach a lesson that was entertaining and fun for those watching. 

She directs all youth activities of the church and does everything to make a difference and a lasting lesson to the children that attend the activities that she is a part of. Renne feels that this experience has affected everything that she has done.
