Judy VanDuzer - Welcome Back!
Good News!  Judy VanDuzer, our Christian Development Facilitator, has returned to Marshall on a modified work plan.  Currently she is working reduced hours, with the objective of gradually increasing as she is able.  During the month of August she will be working on plans and initiatives that will support and guide our Christian education activities this Fall.  She will work closely with Rev. Etienne, the Christian Development Team, and of course with the people of Marshall.  Please give her your full support, and continue to pray for her as she engages in this important work.
