#WeAreFirstPres Stories: Kicking Off Holy Week

Student Ministry’s Junior Girls’ small group did something a little different on Palm Sunday. Led by Ritsy Carpenter and Courtney Peacock, the group kicked off Holy Week with their feet! Moms and daughters came together as the hands and feet (literally) of Jesus to each other, tracing the humble and faithful actions of our Servant Savior on that first Maundy Thursday.  

Ritsy has discipled our high school girls for more than 40 years — starting with a ninth-grade group, following them through each year of high school until graduation, and then adopting a new group to repeat the cycle. Through example and special experiences, Ritsy pours her life into our girls, showing them who Jesus is, and who they are in Him. Through missions projects, special gatherings and old Florida adventures, Ritsy teaches Truth and forges friendships for a lifetime. Loving our First Pres Family and neighbors, Ritsy lives on mission.
