Faith and Football
Dr. Yvette Richards has a lot of titles, including past national president of United Methodist Women, member of the General Board of Global Ministry, and World Methodist Council, just to name a few. Now the member of St. James UMC in Kansas City has another title: Chiefs Fan of the Year. She may be the Chiefs' biggest fan, but she can’t talk football without sharing her faith.
