Flow Internship
Welcome to FLOW! I’m thrilled that you are part of the FLOW Internship Program this summer! We’ve got wonderful things planned, and I’m grateful that you’ll get to experience it.
My prayer for you this summer is that you will learn, be challenged, grow in ways you didn’t expect, deepen your relationship with God, make lasting friendships, and have a blast along the way.
First Things
As our summer begins, there are a few things I need from you.
Please submit these forms by Friday May 20.
- Getting to Know You – complete this online form to help me get to know you!
- Permission for Online and Print Publication – Please sign and email back to me. Note that the signatures can be digital or handwritten, but not simply typed in.

If you have any questions or concerns about these forms, don’t hesitate to reach out to me.
Slack
We will be using Slack to communicate together over the summer. Slack is a fantastic messaging tool designed for teams and businesses. It will be a great way for us to stay connected.
You will get an email invitation to join our FLOW Slack group. Follow the instructions in the email to join.
Also, I highly encourage you to put the free Slack app on your phone so you don’t miss notifications!
