The Rev Bev (Hamilton ’84) checks in from It’lee

Writing from the small town of Italy (pronounced It'lee), Tx, just south of Waxahachie, where I am the pastor of the First United Methodist Church of Italy. Graduated in 2004 from Brite Divinity School at Texas Christian University; 1984 journalism graduate of Texas A&M and Batt Rat alum. Spent a year at Tyler Morning Telegraph and two years at the now-defunct Dallas Times Herald as staff writer before jumping to Corporate America, where I spent 12 years in sales support, marketing, tech support, analysis/planning & strategy with EDS, a Fortune 50 consulting & information services company in the North Dallas area. Odd jobs in research, tech support, web mastering, and grant writing while in graduate school. Now in my 3rd year of ministry and loving it! Was amazed at the large number of fellow journalists in seminary. Check out our new web site at http://www.fumcitaly.com. Live with my high school age son, 2 dogs, and 3 cats. email: revbevumc (at) gmail.com
